Hatched ducklings

[Bowman10117]

Hello everyone mallards eggs started hatching this morning. The hens in a pin with 2 drakes and 2 other hens should the mother and ducklings be moved away from the other ducks? Or will she protect the ducklings?

I’ve always kept mine separate. You just never know especially with drakes so best to keep mama and babies in their own area for a few weeks but where everyone can see each other. Congrats pics when you can!
