I have two mallard girls about 11 weeks, I got three baby Perkins about 2 weeks ago I had them in the same pen but separated I now have combined them my big girls will chase the baby's around and try to peck them almost should I just let them get use to each other Or so I intervene this are my baby's

and this are my big girls

If the aggressive behavior isn't out of control they are probably just showing the young ones who's boss, I'd personally wait until the 2 week old ducks are quite a bit larger before keeping them together, birds of that age are just too susceptible to injury at that age especially when much larger ones are trying to show them who's boss in the pecking order.

It's not bad they had seen each other before it was just like chase them then stop but it was mainly just one of them the other one will stop te other big one from chasing they haven't done it in a couple hours they have kinda just settled down

You should post over in the Duck Forum. There are duck experts there that can answer your questions.
