Help!!! IS MOMMA DUCK GOING TO KILL HER BABIES?

[AmmasArk]

One week old babies. Momma and babies are in their own space with a pond. She has been a good mom all week. I noticed momma bobbing her head at her babies yesterday. This morning she bobbed and grabbed 2 at the back of the neck in the pond. Seems aggressive to me.. Is she going to kill her ducklings? Is this normal behavior? First time duck owner.

@schrephouse the drake may start trying to breed with the ducklings. which will end in death for the ducklings. Best to keep the drakes away until females are laying age at least 4-5 months old. He may even try mating the drakes.
