Introducing 8 week old ducks to new ducklings

[crcaitlinr]

Hello!
I have two pekin ducks that are almost 9 weeks old. Don’t know their gender yet but they are friendly. I just got five new runner ducklings a few days ago. When can I introduce the pekins to the babies? I would like them to live together eventually and not kill each other.
Thanks!

Big difference in size there right? To get them use to each other take them
Out on nice days let the the Pekins meet them with supervision. If the Pekins over whelm them place the Pekins inside a pen So they can see the little one but can bully. If you do this everyday as often as you can by the time the Runners are ready to go out for good they should be ready to all be a flock. This always takes time so be patient. And please post pictures.
