Separation anxiety?

[picklesmama]

I have a Cayuga and my house mate has a Pekin and the two have been best friends since the day we got them (2 months ago) .. They are inseperable and I've never seen them more than 2 feet apart from each other. Unfortunately, I am going to be moving away and will be taking the Cayuga with me... when we separate them (even for 2 minutes) they flippppp out! Will they get over the separation after I move? Or will they become sadness and depressed when they are alone? They have lots of Chicken friends... but not too sure how they will do without eachother..
:/

They will get over it but it can be very stressful when flocks are torn apart. They have strong social bonds and have basically became a family. If they are going to be separated I would suggest adding another duck once you move because ducks really do best with others of their kind
