yesterday i posted that I had a problem duck , she ? is 4 weeks old and she is pulling the wing feathers out of the other ducks and they r bleeding pretty bad.
so yesterday I made a separate part to keep her in - with chicken wir-e to keep her from doing this to the other ducks, today i left her out when itook out their treats and she started in again right away so I quickly put her right back into to solitary confinement... does anyone have any suggestions as to what to do or why she is doing this , she is a 4 week old mallard female i have 1 male with 5 other females all mallards and i have 2 pekins- 1 male and 1 female and she is doing this to them also I also have 6 chickens that they are all with and she doesnt do this to the chickens it is just the ducks- what is going on with her. I cant have her doing this to my ducks they are bleeding very badly from her doing this... ant suggestions please?????? they are getting greens everyday and are on a good quality food and I wouls assume that they would all be doing this ( the ducks ) if it were some sort of food problem... what else can it be?
 
It could just be that she is an overly aggressive duck. I am not sure how you discipline a duck so the best option may be finding a new home for her. If she is super aggressive, you don't want her passing those traits down to her ducklings.
 
Over crowding and boredom can sometimes result in feather plucking. What kind of housing do they have. Can the ducklings get right away from her if they need to?? Or are they all in a fairly enclosed area?
