Hiya,
We've been happily watching our pack of 7 do their thing over the last year, we got them last August. Love having ducks.
They've just been through a molt, and are currently not really laying which I think must be normal?
The reason for my post, is that this morning while they're all flapping about in the shallow water tray, having a clean and getting excited, one of the ducks (they're all female) which I believe is quite high up in the rankings, if not at the top, put her beak right up the arse of another of the ducks, making her quack loudly and run off out of the water tray. She then did it to another of the ducks that was preening in the tray about 5 minutes later!
I've seen her mount one or two of the others before which I believe to be an assertion of dominance... but I've never seen any of them do that before, and Google searching "my duck just put her beak up another of my ducks arses" doesn't return the desired results
If anyone can shed some light on this I'd be grateful
