Duck attacked by other ducks

[Mariakissinger132]

So I have a Pekín duck she is about 3-4 months old and all of a sudden one of my other female pekins well we think she is a female started attacking her I was so surprised because everything was fine before and none of my other ducks are attacking her just my other femal pekin
What should I do and I don’t want my baby to get hurt so I need help and also she is hurt because she had niacin deficiency and she is still taking medication for that but she is getting better but she still can’t get away from the other duck so when she is playing with them I have to watch and make sure everything is ok

I'd separate them. Get one of those collapsable dog fences or something to keep them apart until this passes. They should be able to see each other but no touching.

I would remove the aggressive duck from the flock until this bird regains strength. The aggressor may very well be a drake starting to become sexually active. The weaker bird has become a target.

Ok thanks well the one that is being attacked stays in the coop all day anyway and they pretty much leave her alone until she goes to the pond and they free range so that might be a bit of a problem

Poor girl, I would definitely keep her away from the aggressor. You very well may have a drake that is showing his stuff
