Drake attacking 4wk old duck

My cayuga drake is starting to attack one of his offspring by ripping out its feathers on its back and head. No problems till this morning he was good to them when they hatched what happened

Hormones. They need to be separated for a while.

GET THE DRAKE OUT FAST AND KEEP HIM SEPERATED I've seen too many ducklings killed by the drake. It's AWFUL

Yeah, pull him. I am fortunate my drakes don't go near my young here then again the females would tear them apart if they did lol some drakes are jerks...

My drake killed his day old duckling. So we separated them till the remaining babies were two months old. Put them back and he attacked again. Now they're separated permenantly Until adulthood.
