Should I introduce my new duckling to its mom?

So the mom duck really didn’t take much interest in her duckling at all. So I took the duckling I bought from the store and put it outside with the other ducks to see how the duck nesting would care and she didn’t care for that one either! So what would be a good age to bring ducklings outside because I guess for now they are staying inside with me, which I really don’t mind until they get big. Thank you again everyone!

Keep introducing them and buy 4 weeks they can go out. Just keep trying..

Depends on your temps and if you have a secure place to have them. Once they begin to feather in and it’s nice and warm take them out in a set up that is safe and where everyone can see each other but the adults can’t get to them that way until the are big enough to be with the adults they can all get use to each other. Your females if you have one or both will have to be breeding age to be with any drakes you have

She’s been sitting for over a month now but she’s been adding more eggs to the nest and at first kicked some out. When this one hatched she had 12 in the nest she now has 15. I candled the day this one hatched and some look like they are close to being hatched. But I was going to try to see if she would let them hatch with her
