Drake keeps trying to fight with rooster and now has a bloody eye

My drake keeps trying to fight with my rooster and now he has a bloody eye but he won’t stop.....

Last week this drake beat up one of my new ducks plucking a load of feathers off of her and now this week he’s picking fights with the rooster.
Is there anything I can do to stop this ? Ive tried separating him and it didn’t seem to stop him.

The rooster isn’t even starting it, the drake just runs over and starts tugging his feathers while the rooster pecks his head, trying to get him off.

Keep the drake separated. Force him to stay in his run (or whatever you have) and he’ll learn.
Also maybe now that he knows what that roo is capable of he’ll stay away for the time being.
My drakes and roosters would fight sometimes so I moved their pens farther away from each other and put up a fence for when I wasn’t out there watching them.

I'd definitely be keeping them separated. Otherwise, that drake is going to lose an eye at this rate.

Definitely separate him. Have a separate pen set up for Ducks and Chickens. His hormones are high.

Can you get more duck hens for him? That might help.

He has 4 ducks... is that not enough?
I also have another drake if that has anything to do with it...
I got a new duck last week and he started attacking her plucking out so much of her feathers that she was bleeding. so I’ve been keeping him away from the other ducks since that.

That explains things..Hormones and another Drake, plus a new Hen.

Two drakes to two hens might not be enough, especially if the drakes are young. Can you get more hens?
