Can someone please help me, my other duckling keeps biting this one and it’s getting very bad if I separate them they start crying.

I think it sees that the other chick has some deformity on its beak and it keeps trying to bite it to fix it it should be fine if you want to be safe you can separate it but after the duck realizes its unfixable ill stop.

Maybe you can divide the space with hardware cloth so they can see each other, but not peck. Welcome to BYC!

I would separate the two, so they can see and hear each other, but can't touch, after some time of them getting used to each other, you can let them out to play for short bits and slowly integrate them. Welcome to BYC!

I second this, or a piece of plexiglass, though that might be hard to find. Adult ducks get upset too, when they can’t see their flock mates.

I used a scrap piece of hardware cloth wrapped the edges in gorilla tape worked great to separate 3 week olds from newly hatch in the same brooder.
