He killed the first two babies that hatched, before I had woken up. And the little one that you see after it hatched mom picked it up by the foot and threw it because it’s 8 days younger then her sister. When I let the babies out with the parents I keep an eye on them because the parents do bite at them from time to time.
That's sad. I have always kept my mama and babies separated from the rest of the flock but where they can see them until the ducklings or chicks are close to 3 weeks old then they are better able to get away from the adults.
