Introducing ducklings to older ducklings

[Madaline706]

I recently adopted 2 little 1 week old Pekins to accompany my larger 3-4 week old Pekin duckling. There is a big size difference between them. I've already introduced them and the larger duckling and he is very gentle with them but I'm afraid he will step on them so I will keep them separated. When is a good time that I will be able to keep them in the same area? Or will my larger Pekin grow too much for them to stay together?

Hi, if I were you I would just keep them in seperate cages because you don't want to take any chances with them hurting each other. Since there is a pretty big size difference I think just to keep them seperate would be a safer move.

Hope everything works out!

If you can put up some wire to separate them they will still be able to see each other.......I had to do that when I had a single Duckling...The new Ducklings grow so fast it won't be long till they can be together full time....While you supervise they can be put together.........

Best wishes.....


Cheers!
