That kind of behavior shouldn't be tolerated. What is your setup/ratio like?

Get them outside and busy being Ducks. Don't handle him other than what's needed. Have him respect your space. Ducks aren't always friendly and need room to be Ducks. Drakes are aggressive as they mature. Also depends on breed.

they are outside for most of the day, and he still seems to like being held. i’ll sit next to them and he will climb into my lap, but sometimes he just gets REALLY mean and attacks me. he’s a khaki campbell, doesn’t 5 weeks seem too early to be aggressive (especially to his own sister and my older duck, who he is imprinted on)

He is maturing and I guess if you feel the need to hold him he will continue to get more aggressive towards you. Your not a Duck and they communicate with each other and you as Ducks only can. Having there own place all day and night is best. Definitely old enough to be outside Ducks.

i’ve had four other boys (5, including my foster baby) and they have never been aggressive because of holding?

Alright. Do as you wish.
