How do I get my 8 week old ducks to accept my 4 week old ducklings

Hi,
I’ve been trying to integrate River and Iris (welsh harlequins) in with Aspen, Skylar, and Alaska (2 hybrid white layers, Alaska unknown right now). But Skylar and Aspen want nothing to do with River and Iris. They have been attacking and peking them. They do this weird raise their feathers along their neck and head vibrate thing. What does that mean exactly? Then they charge and start attacking the welsh harlequins then I run over and scare them off with my towel. Then River and Iris run over behind me. This all happens within around 8 seconds. It all is very fast. I split the pen in half and put the welsh harlequins on one side and the three white on the other. The two welsh harlequins keep coming over to the chicken wire but Skylar keeps chasing them away even with the divider.
Thanks!
Kelly

It takes time just keep doing what you doing with the divider. Maybe try 1x a day to let them all together and toss out treats so they are more interested in feeding their faces than picking on someone.
