Hopefully the dog is ok The dog is okay. She's a large dog and when the duck gets too rowdy she just puts her paw on him. Lol Hopefully she does not end up hurting him. So far she's been gentle but I worry that could change.

Yes he is less than a year old. I figured it was teenage hormones acting up. He is not overly aggressive at the moment but I will keep an eye on things to make sure everyone is okay. So far he ignores the female duck but she's only been here a couple of days.

I thought the head bobbing just said they were happy 😂 I didn't realize it was a mating call. He is quite expressive and "talks" to us a lot. I've really enjoyed him, but am worried the dog will hurt him when she gets tired of his attentions. Do they go into season or is this a normal every day...

Pretty sure its a boy based on his voice and curly tail feather. The hubby does not want any more feathered friends but maybe I can sneak a couple more girls into the coop 😉 Thanks for all the responses it was very helpful.

Thank you for the response. My poor Elle Mae is not sure how to deal with the duck trying to jump on her back. 😅 So far she has been very tolerant. I did hope there was some way to divert his unwanted attentions.

So I decided to add a couple of ducks to my backyard flock. I got 2 as babies but one died early. That left my cayuga to be raised alone. He befriended the dog and follows her around, but recently it seems he is trying to mate the dog. I just went an got a female pekin duck to add to his "flock"...
