Duckling scared of chickens

[madelyn13]

I recently got a duckling to add to my little flock, she’s about a month old. We have two bantam hens, and one of them went after her while we she outside and pulled some of her little feathers out the other day. Since then the chickens hardly even look at her, but the duck is terrified of them. She’s pretty skittish anyways, which I’m trying to work on. I’m planning on housing them all together when she’s big enough, but I don’t want her to be so scared of them. Is this something that will just take some time to get over? Is there something I can do to make her less nervous in general?

Your duckling needs other ducklings not chickens. Chickens may peck it to death. I would not house it with your chickens.
