Introducing ducklings? Help!

[duckchix]

Good Morning! I am a duck novice and out of two duck eggs I hatched a duckling a little over 3 weeks ago. It has been amazing watching her explore and grow. I didn't want her to be the only duck so I purchased a 3 day old male duckling two days ago. The older duckling is so much bigger than the new baby so they are in different brooder set ups. My question is how do you properly introduce ducklings and when should I do this? Thank you so much!!!!

I don't know too much about ducks (I'm new to chickens LOL), but I am sure you will find what you need here! I have.

Greetings from Kansas, duckchix, and

! Pleased you joined us and great to have you here! My duck knowledge is limited and I've never owned ducks of different ages. I know with chickens you have to be careful about the intro and I assume the same would be true with quackers. You might post in the duck thread below for advice that is more informed than mine. Good luck to you!

Hello & Welcome to BYC!

I've also never owned ducklings of different ages, so I'm not sure. I'd post over on the ducks thread to get some more experienced opinions. Good luck to you!
