Female Pekins Fighting

I think it causes feather eating, maybe fighting is the result of that

So if I need to increase their protein- would mealworms be the best source for that since they already get good quality food?

I like to give them a little cat food every now and then, but I am definitely not an expert.

Mine get mealworms and during molt they get salmon an pea dog food as treat. Mealworms are a good source of protein and duck crack.

We may have found peace.
So here in central NC it has been DRY. Now- my ducks have a pool and 5 water buckets, but they havent been able to dig in the mud. So Friday night I took the hose and flooded a corner of my yard and let them play in the mud. Ever since then it's been peace.
I can't describe it. I don't know why that would fix it. But so far so good
