Hi,
I successfully hatched 3 swedish blue ducklings in an incubator this past weekend. They are 3-4 days old and are in the brooder and doing great. Until now I have had a solo adult khaki campbell/ buff orphington cross hen that just started laying. She is less than a year old. I'm new to ducks but I'm wondering if she might "mother" the ducklings or if there is any reason I should not introduce her to the ducklings once they are a little older.... if its ok to do so... how old should the ducklings be before I put them all together?
Thanks... I know these may be basic questions but I haven't been able to find an answer by searching the boards.
