Hi,
I have 7 ducks, 4 1 year olds and 3 7 weeks old. The little ones are big enough to go into the outside pen with the adults, so last night I tried to move the little out. One of my olders is nesting, and was fine with the new girls for about five minutes. Then, all of a sudden, she freaked out, ruffling her feathers and biting one of the little. It was late and I wasn't sure what to do, so I brought the littles back inside. How should I proceed? I'd like them out before the end of the week since I'm going on a trip and I don't want my dad to have to take care of two groups of birds.
