I have a now established trio of Light Sussex and am now prepared to get my first trio of Khaki Campbell ducks. After keeping them in quarantine for a week or so I intend to introduce them. They will have  an area within a 50 metre poultry net. Does anyone have any advice, do/don'ts etc :?:  :?:

Hi Sassy

Ducks are a lot more skittish than hens, and it may take them a day or two to settle down.
When I first got my ducks I made them a separate area within the hen's area, but to be honest this was more to protect them from other predators as they were only small

Once ducks are in a routine they are fine so I would pop them in their shed the first night then let them out together the next day and see how things go. Just make sure that there are enough feeding areas so there is no squabbling for food    The ducks will no doubt head straight for water
