Ok I have so much to tell you guys! First off, I know that it's been a while since I've been here. Last time I started a thread, we revealed that my biggest duck, a blue swedish, is a male. His name is carmen.
Between last time and now, he has started bullying my dog, and being mean to the girls. I plan to give him to my aunt Tina.
I found this ad on Craigslist for some awesome laying breeds.

It's nearby to where we live, and they are a good age. I want to get 2 of those gold star hybrids, and 1 khaki Campbell. That means total, after giving my drake to my aunt, I will have 6 females. I realize this means I will not have fertilized eggs from any of my girls, but I think if one of them goes broody next spring, I may get some fertile eggs online so I can sell the ducklings they hatch.
Anyways, what should I know about introducing new birds to my existing flock? And as a side note, my aunt Tina is going to buy a duck as well to be with Carmen at their house. Will he be nice to her? What should I know about moving him? Thanks in advance, I love you guys!
