Help!! Male duck mean.

[Heather-nikole]

I have 14 ducks. 5 Muscovy ducks. 4 babys and one young adult male named chuck. And 9 mallard ducks 4 male 5 female. I got them all at the same time, they all seemed to get along great, but here recently chuck has been being mean to the others, no blood. And he isn' just mean to the babys he mean to the mallards as well. I' afraid he is going to drownd another ducks or rip a wig off. He is the biggest duck I have so Idk if they have a pecking order and he is just on top. Or if he is lonely bc no female for him yet. Any advice would be appreciated.

If you have no other muscovies his age, he has no one to communicate with. Wait until the babies grow up. He is probably hitting a hormonal stage. You could separate him for a bit until the young ones grow up. Is he aggressive towards you?

I'd get him a couple Muscovy females that would make Chuck real happy I bet.

No, chuck is good for me. He will come to me. He eats out my hand and will let me pet him.

Sounds like my Muscovy drake he is such a sweet heart to me hates my dh. But he is one happy boy having his own girls too.

I'm hoping the babys will be females.

Chuck is a gorgeous drake.

How young are the babies?

 

[Heather-nikole]

Babies are about 3 or 4 months old. Idk if male or female. I have another thread w pics of them asking about that.

How old is Chuck? The "babies" look old enough to hold their own.
