Hi All,
My Indian Runner male is completely obsessed with attacking my Blue Swede drake to the point where all he does is v-line straight to him to fight. I expected some fighting but it seems a little over the top....
I have them separated in their pen and at night but I want to let them free range...I have a pond which is one of the reasons why I got ducks...but even when I let them out the runner goes nuts on the swede and the swede just keeps coming back.
If I let them out will the swede eventually realize he's out and go find a different spot on the pond or will he just keep coming back? I was going to let them figure it out but the swede was getting quite bloodied up so I figured best to intervene.
Also...I have 6 hens coming in May to dilute my male to female ratio a bit more....will this help or am I just fighting a losing battle?
Thanks!
