Help with an aggresive pekin!

[laceybrks]

Looking for advice about how to handle an aggresive pekin duck. We bought six pekin ducks in April, and they have been raised together with no issues. It seems we may have 4 females and 2 males. Over the past couple of days, one of our males will put his head down like a bull and charge at our other male. It has gotten to the point where the bullied duck sleeps in the bushes around the duck pond alone and can't go near the rest of the flock. Anytime he tries to go near the pond or the feeder, the aggresive male chases him away. I feel awful, and apparently my chickens do, too, because they have been sleeping with him while he tries to hide. Any suggestions about how we should handle this?

Your birds have determined their "pecking order" and the loner will continue to be a loner. If these are pets, you can try to find him a new home or just let him hang out with the chickens. If they are for meat, grow him to the desired weight and enjoy. I'm sorry if that sounds blunt, but its the truth.
