Baby ducks attacked by boys!

[Emojikitten]

I have a family of seven wild ducks who come on my lawn mostly everyday. There are two grown up boys, the mom, and four babies (which are girls). We feed them bird seed and cheez its when they come by, but we notice that the two grown up boys attack the mom and the babies. Their screams say so. Why are they doing this, and how do I get them to stop, if there were any way to?

They're wild. Just leave them be, for now. It's nature.

The two Drakes are wanting the Momma..You could call a Wildlife rehab in your area?. Although it is just how wild Ducks are. Domestic are the same although we can intervene when needed.

Is hunting season open? Grain fed ducks are delicious.
