hello
i'm new to ducks and have a question about introducing new ducks.
i have 2 ducks now (only had them a week)male and female peking male and mallard mix female and just got a pair of moscovy ducks male and female.all about the same age i think...any way when i first put them in the pen together the peking seemed like the aggressor but after awhile the male muscory was sitting on top of the peking and wouldn't let him up...i assume as long as there is no blood they will sort it out them selfs...or do i do somethig else... thanks for your time...
 
If they are all close in age they should work it out...Now if you are introducing young ones to the adults that is the hard thing,,The females will push them around but after a few days it is over now if you have an adult drake..I dont know how to do that..When I put my 6, 10 weeks old babies in the drake the drake left the males alone but was trying to mate the females.I had to remove him he was so violant...It never worked and I had to find him another home,he wasnt going to stop he was use to the babies as they were in a cage inside the big cage for 4 weeks to get use to each other..Have 10 ducks 4 adult females and 6 babies that are 12 weeks now and everyone is fine..All adult females are sitting on alot of eggs..
