Ducklings Safe with Rest of Flock?

A mallard hen of mine has just gone broody. I don't have much experience with ducks. My question is whether or not I should isolate the mother and brood from the flock as soon as they hatch. I know that most chicken hens will let a mom and her bitties be, but what about duck hens? Are they more aggressive? Would the ducklings be in danger?
Thanks!
 
It varies from individual to individual but I usually keep the females all together with their broods.
 
All right. I may move her for a bit just to be safe since none of the other hens are brooding. Thanks for the reply!
