Hello we have 4 ducks!2 girls and 2 boys!all KCs!the 2 boys seem to pick on 1 of the girls more than the other 1!especially when there sexing when 1 is on top the other 1 pecks and bites the head of the girl and she's quacking by the sounds in agony!have any of you seen this before?
 
Unfortunately, you have too many drakes. A good ratio is 1 male to 3-6 females. Can you get more girls? If not, you may need to re-home one of the drakes, or separate the drakes from the ducks.
 
You need more females or you need to rehome one of the boys. You could also run 2 flocks, one just females and one just males. Right now you need to separate them so they don't gange up on her.
