[kellistill]

my boys have grown up together. they never had an issue until recently. clearly an alpha male. there space is large, indoor area even a built in pond. i got them as a pair as babies over a year ago. recently i cant go near them without donald attacking daffy. he has bald spots on his head now. on free range donald charges me! i dont know what to do. they were fine. i thought ok hormonal , its the season, it will pass, but its hard to watch. daffy is getting injured now. do i have tobget rid of him? will it stop??? help!

Welcome!

Sorry, I too have no experience with ducks but hope that the folks on the Duck Forum Ken gave you a link to are able to help.

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out

Do you have any female ducks, or just the two males? I don't think two grown males are ever going to be happy with each other. I would rehome the mean one, and get the quieter drake a couple of hens to keep him happy.
