Baby ducks and mother hen
« on: August 08, 2010, 07:34:04 pm »
My ducklings are 4 weeks old and still in a pen with mother hen.  When is the best time to either let them all out together with the rest of the ducks and hens or take mum away and put her back with the hens?  she is definitely looking interested in getting back with the flock.

I could keep the ducks in the pen for another 4 weeks and let her out in the day perhaps?
