If I get two ducklings on the 22nd would they accept a duckling that is almost a month younger?

Also do I have to do anything special when hatching a duck egg?
 
You need higher humidity for duck eggs. I run 60 throughout until the last 2 days I bump it to 70-75.

IMO you'd have to watch the older ducklings with the baby. At 4 weeks old they will be pretty good size.
 
Okay thanks, maybe I won't pick up the other ducks then. If this egg hatches next month then we'll look for another duck on CL.

Are their any breeds that don't get along? My duck egg is a mixed breed, pekin and crested.
