Title: Introducing new ducks
Post by: monkeysox on August 23, 2011, 04:43:40 pm

I have just agreed (for my sins) to take in 9 more hand reared mallard ducklings, however I am a bit worried about introducing them to my exisiting 4. The new ones are considerably younger and I would hate for them to be beaten up. Any advice on introducing them would be great.

if you can keep the in a seperate house/run until they are bigger, that would be best.  :&>
