New duck to flock

[lovehannah43]

Hi, I'm a new duck mom. I bought my first pair 2 weeks ago this coming Tuesday (8.6.24). One week later, I added a 4-5m juvenile chinese goose. The three got along great, and the goose has truly adopted the ducklings. Three days after getting a goose, I got what looks to be a 6w old blue female Swedish. They're all getting along great. Today, (8.3.24) I bought a 4-5m old welsh harlequin thats also female. All day they have been great, that i have seen. I bring all the babies in at night. I leave them in a tote, only because their pen doesn't have the hardwire cloth yet, and the ducklings are maybe only 3 weeks old, therefor, im too scared to leave them out (and they're not supposed to stay outside until 6w or fully feathered). Anyway, i brought them all in today, and the welsh keeps nibbling at my goose and quacking loudly. I finally had to separate her and put her in my bath tub (dont come for me), and theyre all quiet now. any help?

welcome! sounds like you are doing the right thing. when one duck is picking on others, separating into a timeout is what we do.
If she keeps it up as they grow, the most important thing they need is a large area/run/yard/pen, with lots of places to get away and hide from each other.
Do you know how many males you have the Drake to Hen ratio with ducks is very important. you need four or five hens for each Drake. over breeding causes injury and deaths and that’s what happens if you don’t have enough girls for each Drake.
With the geese, there will be fighting if you have too many ganders as well. Hopefully you have mostly girls. do you know their sexes yet?
post in the ducks forum as @LTAY1946 has given link. and please post pictures of your set up
