Barnyard of ducks

[Uncle Chester]

I have several ducks laying on their nests. One has just hatched 3 ducklings. My concern is that the other ducks are picking at these new ducklings. How do I protect these little guys from other adult ducks?

Some adults do not like ducklings that they view as small intruders. If you are witnessing any aggression, you need to isolate mom and her brood or you risk losing some.
