I currently have Mallards and Pekins. I am thinking about getting a Cayuga and a black indian runner and a tufted buff goose. Do you think it will be alright to get just 1 of each breed since they won't be alone. As soon as they are big enough they will join the flock. Do you think it will "hurt" them to be the only one of their kind? Thanks for any input!!
I really don't think so, to a duck another duck is just a duck, they don't tend to pay attention to breed or coloration and will mix easily, Not having another of their specific breed shouldn't bother them. Its more like having different breeds of dogs together, they are all the same species so they all speak the same language If you know what I mean.
I have harlequins, swedish, runners, pekins, a goose and chickens all together during the day. At night they have seperate pens. It hasn't hurt mine any. Mine have almost an acre fenced-in area to run in.
I would get the 2 new ones at the same time so they can have each other at first. I have 3 mallard/rouens not sure which they are. They are 8 weeks old. 3 Pekins that are 6 1/2 weeks old. And 7 Cayugas that are 3 weeks old. They all get along good now. The Cayugas know they older ducks are the boss. But they all go every where together.
