salbo Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Hi, I need some advice, as from this weekend we are having two ducks which are approx 6 weeks old! I have chickens already and wanted to know how long I should keep them separated for? I have got a pen which will be next to the chickens, so they will get to know each other. Also if anyone has any other advice as to keeping ducks I would be grateful. Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 They'll need keeping separate until they are roughly 20weeks old. What breed are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 I don't think you'll introduce them with ease. They are quite small compared to chickens. Are you planning on them sleeping together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salbo Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 no we have a different house for them to sleep in, but they will be together eventually in the walk in run and in the outside pen, unless things do not go well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
