Is this normal

I don't have a separate dish maybe I can just reduce the amount

A separate dish can be almost anything even a plastic container. doesn't have to be anything like a feeder. you just don't want them filling up on too much grit and not enough feed which can happen when you combine it.

I know they are scared of anything new so just sit it down they will eventually get up the nerve to check it out. lol

If you first show it to them with some food in it they may get used to it faster, my ducks will do anything for snacks.

Probably anything new will finally get accepted once they get over the initial fear and curiosity takes over.

Most drakes are territorial they don't like to share their girls with other drakes and they can even be that way towards their humans too.
