Good vids.
Not sure what to advise.
He does seem to back off if they submit, which lead me to believe he just wants to dominate them and may calm down after a few more weeks...but again I don't know ducks.
Could be both.
Looks like they are submitting to him.
What does he do after they submit?
I don't know much about ducks...... @oldhenlikesdogs might have some insight.
I don't believe good 'cockerel training' includes holding him.
They need to know that he won't die if you touch him, but I do all exams off the roost at night.
He's young yet, still feeling the first throes of new and raging hormones.
Exactly!
Each human has to be more 'confident' than this bird.
How old are your kids?
