Thank you for your reply. I will keep that in mind with my decision to put my ducklings in with Stella, my white pekin.Personally my ducklings are raised with my adult ducks. Sometimes they are hatched and raised by a duck hen. Other times they are placed in a small pen inside the large pen. I usually open this pen by 3 weeks. My adult ducks are fine with ducklings.
If you have enough space that your adult duck doesn't feel threatened by the new comers, you could see how they interact together. (Watch how the ducklings treat the adult as well. I have seen posts where ducklings ganged up on lone adult ducks).
