Long story as short as I can...
3 ducklings from school have been here since Monday night (hatched Monday).
1 duckling at school, hatched Tuesday - has to come home to live with the 3 here until Monday. How do I get this guy introduced to the 3 that have been here since Monday?
2 of them go to their home on Monday so go back to school with me then.
I get my 2 hatchery ducklings on ~Wednesday (runner and WH). I'll keep one of the two that are left from Monday hatch. How do I do that introduction of new hatchery 2 to Monday hatch duckling? (the last duckling will go to the other teacher and she'll have 2 WH in my box on Wed as well. So all 6 will spend the day together, her 2 new WH and the runner here go home with her. My new runner, WH and existing runner come home with me).
So
how do I do the introduction of Tuesday born duckling to 3 Monday born ducklings?
how do I do the introduction of hatchery arriving ducklings to the Monday born ducklings?
Then, how do I introduce my ducklings to my 2 existing runner ducks? Right now the ducklings are in the bathtub. I want them outside soon - at least during the day - night they can come back in. I don't have the huge dog kennel to use this time - the dane uses it now.
I'm thinking I can have them outside so the existing ducks can hear and maybe see them on the deck, take them to the ground and let them follow me around and maybe let the 2 big girls check them out here and there?
