How do I help my ducks get along???

Until Happy feet is of laying age she shouldn't be with a mature drake anyway. You have done the best for them for now.

She’s a Silver-laced Wyandotte (her name is Oakley). They are very pretty but kind of dim-witted. Oakley is mean to my ducklings, but the other ones (Autumn and Tiny) are nicer. I got her from my local feed store but I know Tractor Supply frequently sells them. They are great layers I get about 6-7 eggs a week from each of them.

Well Oakley is gorgeous. maybe she'll like the ducks better as time goes on. I have a Black Australorp who likes to bully the ducks.

Your two ducklings both look like girls to me. No curled feathers on top of the tail. Unless they come in at a later age but I was under the impression they came in with their first set of real feathers? Anyone else more experienced with drakes know?

Drake feathers typically don't come in until around 4 months old
