What are these ducks?

[mjentley]

Could you please give me your opinion about when we can put our ducklings with the two adult Pekins, one drake one female? The four ducklings are 8 weeks old. I’m pretty sure 2 are females (one Pekin and one Pekin/Runner mix). The two Runners haven’t made a definite quack so I think they are drakes.

Sorry, I'm on and off here for health reasons. I put mine together at 8 to 10 weeks. Some wait till 12 or more. Do you have a set up to do look no touch for a week first?

The ducklings have been in an outdoor enclosure that reaches 6 ft into the pond so they have been swimming since they were 4 weeks old. The two adults are free range so they can see them . There’s only hog wire between the ducklings and adults.
