My male duck was fine in same pen with Mom, Auntie and ducklings when they were tiny. Now that they are 4 weeks old, both he and Auntie have begun attacking them. Difficulty separating them at night because I currently have one shed for them. We are picking up another today, but takes time to assemble. Should I bring them into my house and keep in a dog crate for now or would that be too stressful for them.
I have another duckling from same parents but a week younger and smaller.
She has been in the house since hatched.
Eventually my goal is to keep the adults in one pen and ducklings in the other, once it’s all set up. Help!!!
I was naively thinking ducks are gentle animals and everyone who get along!!!
