Question about my ducks!

[ZebraChicken]

So im wondering if my families two welsh harlequin 1 year old ducks can meet with our two blue swedish ducklings that are about maybe 1 to 2 months old. Our welsh harlequins are male and female and will that cause problems when they meet? I dont think they could really hurt each other. thanks!

Introducktions are tricky. I would have them see each other from opposite sides of a fence at first and see how that goes. Then limited supervised time together. It is best, from what I have read, to wait till everyone is more or less the same size.

Ok that should be fine. Also i have some 10 chickens to so it would be a good idea to separate them.

x2 on watching them. i have 12 week olds i just let out to the pens with adults it took them a week or better to get used to everyone, they all had to figure out the pecking order, and the big male is still boss.
