So I put my 4 week old female ducklings in the pen with my 2 hens and 2 drakes and immediately the 2 drakes starting to mount my ducklings. Are they too young? What should I do?

Yes I did so how long should I keep the drakes away? Can I let the adult hens be with them?Separate them immediately! They are too young!
probably but I'd watch them closely because they can be mean too. The babies are really young. Start by introducing them in a look but not touch situation.Yes I did so how long should I keep the drakes away? Can I let the adult hens be with them?
To young. Keep the drakes/hens and ducklings separated.So I put my 4 week old female ducklings in the pen with my 2 hens and 2 drakes and immediately the 2 drakes starting to mount my ducklings. Are they too young? What should I do?
Oh wow I had no idea that they would try and mate at such a young age and I have no idea how I will keep them separated for that long. But I will do my best! I may need to rehome my drakes!I put one of mine in at 3months and the drake mated it to death. She was too small. I would wait till at least 4 months.
