How to get my 2week old duckling to stop biting my other Animals??

[Jaelyn03]

I just got a a duckling and it’s 2 weeks old. I have a 2 dogs and 10 road island red chicks and he likes to bite them. When ever I tell my dog to come here it strikes at her face. It also strikes at the chicks. How do I stop this before it get worse?

The duckling is afraid so it is trying to protect itself. I think ducklings are more afraid of things than actual chickens. Mine did the same thing with the chicks but eventually the chicks stopped jumping in the duck's face and the duck felt less afraid so the duck stopped biting.

He may feel more comfortable in his surroundings if it had another duck buddy. You may also need to set up separate brooders if it's actually causing injuries to the chicks.

My ducks did this to my dogs. They are about 6 weeks old now and still do it. They like one of my dogs as she was always around them and guarded them. But my lab... they love to harass my lab. She will move her nose over to sniff them and one of my ducks tries to bite her nose every time. The lab just looks at me all confused and goes and lays down heh
