Hi Everyone,
I have a group of 7, 8week old ducks. I'm trying to figure out if they are fighting or playing. They bite each others tails and today I noticed it looked like they were trying to dunk one duck in the pool. I have one duck (Violet) that seems to be picked on the most, she was the runt that wasn't healthy when I first got them and I spent more time with her nursing her back to health. All 6 ducks will be in the pool and it looks like they won't let her in with them, when I put her in the pool with the other ducks, they pick on her and then the other 6 will get out and leave poor little Violet in the pool by herself. Violet also seems to spend more time by herself and the other 6 always seem to hang out together. Is there anything I can do to help violet? I feel really bad if her sisters really are picking on her, she has always been a little slower than the others but isn't the smallest of the group anymore.
Thanks,
Tracy
