Integrating new duck to a flock of 2

[Mudbillkisses]

Layer isn't ideal for drakes it’s too high in calcium so mixing is a good idea. Why not when this bag is finished or even before buy an all flock feed mix it with your layer till gone then just feed the all flock and put oyster shell out for your girls. And listen your doing the integration perfect he’ll be accepted eventually it just takes time . Hoping soon he’ll be top man around there and those girls will be in love.

Thanks! I suspected so. That's a great suggestion to mix in all flock! I'll do that. And thanks for the reassurance, they are doing better very slowly. He doesn't always get to eat/drink when he wants to, they bully him away but I think they'll work it out. I'm hoping for babies in the spring time maybe!! Cayuga mix with Ancona or Muscovy would be interesting.

This I can feed all my ducks and I just supplement with oyster shell(calcium for females) and grit(My drake won't eat the oyster shell). Here is the feed I buy:
