Or have experience raising ducks?
If I get a 'yes', I'll post my boring duck question.

Right. What's this question? I don't have ducks but I read the Farmer's Guardian a lot and next door has chickens, so how hard can it be?

Been inclined to wander... off the beaten track.
That's where there's thunder... and the wind shouts back.

We had 2 male ducks, and got 2 new female ducks to keep em company. One of the females hurt her leg, and had to be kept separate from the others to recover. When we put the first female with the males, everything was just ducky (  ), but now that we have tried to introduce the other female, the other three just give her hell.
Will they kill her? They peck at her, pull out feathers, etc. I'm just wondering if it's just a "pecking order" thing that will resolve itself, or will they actually hurt her?
(I did some web research, but most "duck forums" are completely worthless... Was looking for someone with actual experience.)

I wouldn't like to give you an answer on that right now AK (I've no idea and wouldn't want the little lovely to get totally owned), but I'll see what I can find out.
If memory serves there's been no problems introducing new chickens into next door's little mob. But that's chickens. Ducks might be different.
