Ok well I have one drakelet out of my white scovie babies. His name is Rex. Becasue he is very ferocious.
Rex is the kind of guy that when one of the adults starts being a bully he will stretch out his neck and his and if the adult doesnt back off he attacks. Often chasing the adult away.
Th eonly adult who doesnt back off is my scovie female ( 4 months old)
So teh other day I was watching and Dark Knight ( adult scovie female) starts beign a bully. Well rex hisses and she pecks at his head. He stretches up and pecks at her face, attacking all the time. They go back and forth , swinging necks and such. FInally my adult girl turns and Rex decides to run her off. He grabs a mouth ful of tail feathers and she turns around and pins him to the ground. I shooed her off and gave him some lovin.
Now - If I keep him as my one drake should I be worried about this behavior? Or should I stick with the largest boy that I already picked out and has less personality???
I like Rex because he actually has personality but i dont want to keep him and him turn out to be aggressive to my other ducks - especially when Dark knight im hoping will be one of his future gals.
