Eye pecking

[nikitalewismasters]

Please help! I don't know if you help with ducks but I need advice.
I've had a duckling for about 4 weeks (is about only four weeks and a few days old),Lilou, and today I got another to be its companion. The new one, Cosmos, is much smaller and only about one week old. But Lilou keeps pecking at Cosmos' eyes and Cosmos doesn't move away and wants to cuddle with Lilou. Especially because Lilou is much bigger, I'm concerned that Cosmos is gonna loose an eye or something. What should I do?

Id seperate them for a while and let them calm down and put them back together later and see if the problem continues. If it does, you may have to consider keeping them separated permantley.

That's normal and no need to separate them. I'm pretty sure he won't lose an eye. Put a mirror in and a teddy bear to distract them. Bigger Brooder area.
