Thread starter Bruv Start date Jul 17, Date sort Score sort. Bruv Chirping. Jul 2, 28 7 Hi so I have 2 drakes I believe- a pekin and a mallard. They are 4 n half months old and I wanted to get them some girls lol and finna get 2 female ducks around the age of months.
A Rouen and a Pekin and I wanted to see if I should take any precautions or if they should get along just fine? I should probably separate the chickens for the start, cuz they live together but not sure how it would effect the new ducks. Any ideas?? Jul 14, 1, 3, Molalla, Oregon. I would say just for extra precautions quarantine them for a week or two but some people have said ducks take integration better than chickens.

They can mate the chickens and kill them. If you had a lot of females, and the ducks don't share a coop with the chickens, they would likely be fine free ranging together. The minimum ratio of drakes to females is , but more is always better.
You will likely have over mating issues with only two females. I have one drake and 13 females, and some of them were ove mated. In rare instances, can work, but not advised. If you plan on giving the drakes and females separate areas, it can work where they are integrated only some of the time, like the winter when their mating drive is lower. When you do introduce new ducks it takes a long time. You start out with the ducks in separate areas where they can see each other, but not interact.
