    Bully ducks, what should i do?

    I have 3 drakes (unsexed) so I haven’t had much control over their dynamics. I can’t add more female ducks right now because of space and budget limits. Two of them are bullying the third one. It looks like one duck is the dominant one—even the second bully gets pushed around by it sometimes...

    Duck bullies

    I have two female ducks and two female chickens and the ducks are very aggressive towards the chickens. It’s mostly the biggest duck picking on the smallest chicken.

    Muscovy Aggression

    We have two males and one female. They’ve been raised with our chickens since they were all day olds. All of them came home the same day. “Doug the Thug” as we call him has been a bully since he was small. Since moving them outside when they became of age he has been hissing at any of us who...

    Why is my Duck posing so aggressive?

    Hi Friends, why does Katharina, my 8 months old duck suddenly behaves so aggressive? When she sees me outside she retracts her head between her shoulders, puffs-up to look big, opens her bill and quacks aggressive. I have not charged her or done anything bad to her. Hormones?
