Evil Cayuga drake - help!

[Cbutler]

My drake has become increasingly more aggressive, he will chase the dogs and bite them, if I go near his enclosure he will charge the fence and bite if given the chance. He doesn’t peck, he clamps down drawing blood. He has a female mallard with him, that we got at the same time as him. She is beyond loving, however he is concentrated evil. How do I solve this bad behavior. They are about 7 months old.

Have you tried sitting on him? My buff drake Willie verges on aggressive, and mostly just keeps it to lunging which is amusing. But every once in awhile, he'll start rushing and kind of slamming into you from behind. I read a suggestion here to grab on to him and kind of push him onto the ground for a minute. You look like you're sitting on him, but without putting any real weight on him. I wind up doing that maybe once a month, sometimes less, when he starts cycling up to thinking he's the backyard king, and it really seems to chill him out.

I saw something about that, I tried it everyday for a week. No help. He’s extremely protective over her. The only other thing I read was to get more females to see if that calms him down.

I had one like that so I gave him away to a family with only Drakes...He calmed down and has never attacked them..More Hens will not calm his aggression...

I'll give you the same advice I give for people with aggressive roosters. It's not him that's the problem, it's probably you. With animals, it's all about dominance and hierarchy. Somebody always has to be in charge. If the human isn't going to step up and take that position, the animals will sort it out for themselves. He is now the boss, and you (in his eyes) are subordinate. You need to change your behavior if you want to see his behavior improve. That means making him move out of your way and not the other way around. You've got to take charge.
