Hi everyone! I have been learning from this resource for a long time and finally joined the community! I have ducks, not chickens, but I’ve read a lot of people in the same boat on here so I hope it’s OK that I joined.
I have some ducks that are a little over a year old and they are super friendly layers. I just added four more ducks to my flock that I raised from ducklings, took my time introducing them, had them in the same run but separated for weeks and everything was fine, but now that they are together the new ducks are super mean to my big ones, chasing them off of food and water sources all the time. As a result, my big friendly ducks are terrified of them. There is a drake in the new mix of ducks and I think that he is the aggressive one. Will this aggressive behavior level out as the ducks mature? Thank you for reading!!
