duckling bullying and hurting everyone

[Apolinne]

When I integrated 4 young Runner females last year to our flock They were fine outside with everyone but inside they had to sleep in a large dog crate from close to 4 weeks before they were accepted into the coop without squabbles. It takes time but it will happen. It's great they are doing so good outside with everyone.

So it's normal. Phew. That's great. I've never done this before so I was worried maybe I did something wrong. It seemed weird to me, like why would they be okay with them outside, eating and all, but not inside? But I guess it makes sense. I'm ok with people I know outside, doesn't mean I'm fine with them sleeping in my bed.

Wow, 4 weeks!! I guess my ducks only needing 2 weeks is generous

Great sign they are getting along outside of the coop, yes. And I agree you should keep housing them in their own crate overnight and check how they get along in a week / a few weeks.

Your new girls are gorgeous by the way!!
