Does anyone know what’s up with this ramming behaviour. Two of them do it, usually just the mostly black one (goose)

I would say it's their way of trying to show dominance but perhaps someone else can offer a different opinion or explanation.

Which seems funny because the white one is such a scaredy cat and a pushover.

We have a bossy little crested pekin who pushes past the other -- larger ducks -- and the feral rooster, just to show she can!!!!

I think it is certainly asserting dominance/peking order.

It is a definitely a dominance thing they do it when they want to control something usually. I tend to see it around the water, or the food. When I am giving out treats, some of them will try and do this as well and try to claim the leftovers on the ground. I tend to also see it more when they are broody and hormonal. So they will do it to control an area they are laying in.

It look's like those duck's want to get the chicken's away from the lettuce so they can have it?
