I don't know what to do.... please help....

[Marty907]

I have had a duck and a goose for about a year and 5 months now and they are a bonded couple. In may I got a goose and 11 ducklings. Now they are all about the same size so I decided to put the two old ones with the younger ones.... and the two older ones terrorize them. I just don't know what to do anymore because eventually they will have to go together... I know it is not good that the older duck and goose were raised alone..

They may never except the others, so focus on having them ignore the younger birds.
Make sure there is plenty of space, house the young ones near to the adults for a few weeks. When you let them out, make sure there are multiple waterers, feeders, and ponds.

I hope this helps. Best of luck!

You build a very large pen for all the birds so they can get away from one another and they will work it out.

Slow down the introductions. Keep a divider fence between them for a while so they can get used to each other without direct contact. Give treats to everyone at the same time to help them associate good things with being around each other.

Let the littles get larger - size difference seems to increase the likelihood of conflict.

Just takes a while - and you may occasionally need to have timeouts.
