Ok so I have two ducks that are about two weeks old and I just went to TSC and picked up two more the new ones are rouens (I think that's what the paper said im new to this). I introduced the new ones to the other ducks and the older ones were so mean to them I had to put them back in the box. Im on my way to get stuff to make a new home for the new ducks but how can I introduce them so my older baby ducks won't kill the young ones? Please help me!

Introducktions are tricky. Best to divide the brooder in half, each with their own water and food, let them get used to each other, give them all treats and the same time, and go slowly.

As sweet as ducks can be with people, with their own sometimes it doesn't go smoothly. But you can help them.

Once they seem okay side by side, let them have little supervised visits - with treats - in a larger area, then return them to their separate places. After a while they get things worked out. It's extra work for a while, but gosh, gotta love those ducks.
