    Are my 5-week old runner ducks feathered enough to join their older sisters outside (and what's the best way to get them used to each other)?

    I think if you have a big enough pen you can put just about any ducks together. I have a Mule Duck, 2 Muscovy Hens, 3 Runner Duck Hens, 2 Mallards Hens, 2 Khaki Campbell Hen, 2 Rouen Hens, one Runner Duck Drake and 2 small Call Drakes. Everyone gets along just fine. I am adding two more...

    I always use the look but don't touch approach and keep an eye on mine. Since you are where it is warmer than me they would be probably just fine outside. I would make sure you watch them closely though so that they don't get picked on. Mine are usually 6 weeks old before I put them all...
