5 new ducks

Decide who you really want to keep and sell the rest. As long as everyone has at least someone to keep them company they will be fine. They won't be happy at first but that is because ducks don't like change. Give it a few days for them to settle.

You should not put one female with more than one male. Keeps the big boys together and keep the females with your mallard.

These are the two males I need to rehome. The female is in the background with the white neck next to the male mallard.

that's what I have done, thank you!! boy, never thought this would be so complicated!

it is ok for the big female to be in with the little mallard male though isn't it?

Other than he'll want to mate with her, yes that is okay now if it was big drake and small mallard he could easily harm her. Pretty ducks

Thanks! We got up and let everyone out...the female mallard immediately flew the fence and went back with the other two big ducks! ugh! I don't want to clip the mallards wings so I am going to try moving the two big males out of sight on the other side of the barn and see if that helps, out of sight out of mind?
Really need to rehome them, any takers?

Well, put the little cuties on CL and a man came and got the males today. They will have a pond, something they don't have here. He said he would send me a pic of them in their new pond then he texted me to ask their names so I think they went to a nice home.

That's awesome, hope you get to see them in their new home.

That's great news! I'm going to have to rehome my guys come spring so this gives me hope.
