Ok so I tried to fence the babies inside the pen so they could see each other but not touch each other. The hen ran directly up to chicks and began to flap and peck through the wire. The rooster then attacked the hen . The rooster is super weird about flapping, if the ducks or the other...

I just got my twelve new Chickies from ideal hatchery (the heavy pullets) and this little guy was in there... she stands straight up like a runner duck and she sleeps ALL THE TIME.
