How to bond a new pr of ducks

[bemba]

I have just purchased a black white bibbed call drake, and am wanting to pr him with my blue fawn duck..... she on the other hand is not keen on the idea at all! She chases and pecks at him and just continually calls for her flock, which I find really weird because my existing 2 drakes hate her and all my girls chase her, she is always trailing the flock from a distace, so I thought she would bond with this handsome new drake. Has anyone had this happen before when pairing new ducks up? and do they get over it? or do some pairs never bond? I have always felt sorry for her being on the outer, not having a mate.

Ducks hate change. They rather be with ducks they know but don't get along with than a duck they never met before.

Give them a few days to get used to each other and establish pecking order and she should at least stop attacking your drake assuming there's nothing to fight over like food, water, resting areas, etc. No idea if they'll bond to each other but loneliness tends to eventually win out over everything else when it comes to birds.
