Mean drake dad

[JennH07]

So my female hatched 2 eggs about a week and a half ago. Everything has been great until this morning. The dad is trying to kill his ducklings. Why do drake's do this and how can I stop it other than locking him up? TA

You need to put mama and ducklings behind fencing or your drake they will kill ducklings

Thank you both for the info. I will be separating them until the ducklings are bigger.
