Quote: i think i have 7 girls and one boy!!!! how totally awesome is that!!!! the boy is a mean one tho....he's nipping the girls wings and making them bleed and pulling their feathers out....this behavior has won him an all expense paid trip into a cage all by himself where he can hear the girls but can't see or hurt them....he's been in time out all day and as soon as i put him back he nipped at lydia and made her bleed....so he's spending the night alone...when i get home from work i'll try to put them together again....they will be 4 weeks monday....can i put them outside yet??? i think there is just too much duck and not enf tub these days and they are all getting a bit pissy about it....they will have more room in the house we built them and they have a chain link area outside until they get big enf to free range during the day with the other call duck and the blue swedish...what do you think??? too young to go out yet?? we have about the same climate...

YES, put them outside, at 4 weeks they will be OK and best for them exspecially if they get to Free Range. This should help with the nipping... They can explore the yard, the grass and look for bugs that will keep them all preoccupied. Sounds like he is BORED. Let them go swimming, they will be ok to do that as well. They WILL love you for it..

Just lock them up at night, less nipping will happen. They are totally bored being locked up in the tub at 4 weeks. They should already be out. I let all mine out at 3 weeks.. Your silly by not letting them be ducks.
