Sam, I'm still new in the duck keeping, so can't say for sure... but I'm thinking it's just a matter of letting the juvies get bigger first... can you keep him separated out for a while and leave the kids and girls together? Try putting him back in a while? JMO

That's what I'll go with. The pen is fine for one, but was getting cramped for six.

Sounds like he just went into a frenzy of "OMG, new tail!!!" lol... maybe let the big girls have conjugal visitations once in a while?

Hey duck people, do drakes usually go after hens who are no where near laying age? Ducklings spent last week plus beside the adults in a separate pen, no fighting for the last 4 days, and the aggression was mild in the first place... so I put the little ones in the main pen and my drake (who is rather gentlemanly for a duck) turned into a sex crazed maniac... Anyway he's in the small pen, and my older hens and the babies are doing great together.... Thoughts on reintroduceing them, or is it just a matter of the others getting bigger first?

I'd let them get bigger first. Mine are 3/4 the size of adult before I put them together, and if I have an aggressive drake, he goes somewhere else.

yep! She's rotten and wants to run all over the house. I've got 4 or 5 more in the air cell and I made safe holes for them so they can't suffocate. Hoping to have some friends for it tomorrow. It's living with an ultra tiny chocolate orpington chick and my wheaten ohiki chuck cause those 2 are ultra tiny and not doing well in the big brooder.
