Is my duckling overly bitey?

[GracePoultry]

It doesn't hurt when she bites, and the other ducklings will do it to from time to time, but it's constant with her.
I don't really mind I'm just wondering if this could indicate something is going on or if she is acting aggressive. Thanks!!

Ducklings explore their world with their bills like human infants do with their mouths. I wouldn't Be concerned at all.

Honestly the more inquisitive probably the more intelligent.

Also ducks show affection through nibbling. She is probably lovingly preening you.

 

[Sondraa]

Ducks are the best....we can agree...haha

That duck is lovin' on you. You ever see a goose that is defending their nest? That duck is just wondering what the heck these phalanges are in front of me

No she is loving you they are social groomers she is grooming you. My wire figured out a great trick you get a big bag of frozen peas and put them in the blender and make pea soup she makes a quart at a time and keeps in a mason jar in the fridge. She gives it to them 6 or seven times a day just enough that the eat it all. It will dramatically increase the health of your ducks the ones we incubated got it every day for the first month when they were introduced to the ducklings that were raised by a hen the same age they were an inch taller and faster and stronger and swam better.

She did that due to ducks are prone to leg injuries they are not a land animal and being on the ground all the time is hard on their legs.
