Different ages... Will they fight?

[hensareus]

The two swedish ducks I hatched are seven weeks old. The lady I got the eggs from hatched 3 more and didn't want them. They are four weeks old. How badly are they going to be beat up when put in the pen? I don't want them hurt.

There's probably going to be some bullying to establish dominance, just keep an eye on them, and if you need to, use the see but don't touch method

Create a fun time....Free range during introductions with lots of water stations...I never have an issue introducing Ducks....

You were right! Bath time is fun time! One little fuss and it was done. Not besties yet but quiet.

Awesome....More fun times and they quickly forget..Better yet a scare sure gets them huddled up as buddies...Ducks are like feathered puppies....
