I own 3 Muscovy Females and 2 Goose Females. Recently the dominant Muscovy(Dotty), has been bullying (chasing, harassing, etc.) one of my other Muscovy's(Penny). Penny has started not staying with the flock and instead watching them from across the yard and sitting alone, Dotty however is completely fine with the other muscovy(Piper). Today when putting my ducks away I noticed Penny had blood on the side of her face, after catching and examining her I found she had cuts on her legs and feet too, with a scratch on her face. I am guessing these were inflicted by Dotty. What should I do to help ease this aggression, so Penny can go back to spending time with the flock. I have placed Dotty in time out tonight(a dog crate) inside the coop, so she cant further damage Penny. Thank you for reading, if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.
Other notes, they are allowed to free-range all day in a large fenced in yard, they get treats of lettuce, broccoli, and peas. They eat Mazuri, and a scoop of cracked corn(for winter only). Fresh water daily, pools when its above freezing. They have a large coop.
