Surprise ducklings..please help

[cjh0907]

I recently had two ducks, a runner and a mallard, start sitting on what i thought was a couple eggs. Yesterday they finally came out of their coop with 11 little ducklings. I have 2 other males and one other female that live together. Will the ducklings be alright with the rest of the ducks or should i keep them isolated?

I would keep them isolated. Drakes can be deadly toward ducklings

I have read that other ducks might kill ducklings, I would keep them seperate for awhile. I do have ducks mine haven't hatched thier own ducklings but I incubate duck eggs and I don't put the ducklings out with the adult/big ducks untill they are almost as big as the ducks and are starting to get feathers

How wonderful!! Eleven little cuties; so exciting!

No experience of a natural hatching, so won't offer any advice. But, here's to a fun filled, successful journey with your ducklings
