when will my ducks except the drake I just got them?

I have two khakis and two pekins all 7 months old and I just brought them home a khaki drake. They were in the pen together all afternoon-eve but so far they want nothing to do with him. How long should it take for them to warm up? He has been very gentlemanly towards them so far. He just walks towards them slowly. Anything I can do to put some love in the air?

Wait patiently. He's a stranger this is absolutely normal behavior. There is no aggression on either side so things should resolve rapidly.

Thanks for the reassurance. I won't worry and just wait and see.
