I’ve got 6 ducklings now
But there is nearly 2 wks between the first hatched and the last
I put the last hatched in with the others and they are peck at him especially the smallest of the older ones ...
I haven’t left him in there for very long as they’ve given him a bit of a bald spot on the back of his head. Is this normal, the chickens aren’t as violent
 
Do the ducklings have enough room to run around? A two week old duckling needs at least one square foot, the more available, the better. You could try to keep the youngest two or three ducklings separate from the others until they have caught up with their growth somewhat. Can you divide your broader with a mesh, so that both groups can see and hear each other?
 
They hav lotsa room
But they all seem to hound him.
I’ve got him in with a young chick
