Ducking pecking at other duckling

[bradford]

Hi i have a week old duckling ans another just hatched not evwn a day old however the week old duckling keeps pecking at the newborn and its feet .is this normal

Yes, but... a week older duckling could injure a newly hatched one... I suggest separating them in a way they can still see and hear each other til the younger one gets a bit stronger and steadier on its feet...
