Hatching babies

[HomesteadGirl1234]

Hi all! I have a mama duck sitting on eggs and 1 finally hatched!! I have had chickens hatch babies before and I have always separated mama and babies from the rest of the flock. Do the same rules apply to ducks? Will my other adult ducks be aggressive with my new babies?

Some drakes can be aggressive to ducklings especially if they are confined to a limited space. When free ranging I have never had problems with flock members hurting ducklings. Good luck.
