Hi everyone, I have raised ducks for years now and unfortunately I've lost many
. My question is that well I've had 3 ducks 2 female 1 drake. They mated and out of curiosity I put a few eggs in the incubator and 6 hatched. Well I went off to college and I come home to just the 6 babies I guess you can call them. They're about 5 months now. I came home last night for break and today I noticed that they were fighting. I think there might be 2 or 3 males and the rest females. The 6 ducks all hatched together and raised together. I noticed that maybe the 2 males were fighting. I don't know if this is common but I've never seen it before. Are they like claiming territory? Should I separate them? My next question is that I have a coop. It is winter and there is snow everywhere. We have a light in the coop to keep them warm but since they grew up outside without a coop and no where to go in at night they never go in. I feel terrible is there a way I can teach them to go in? I've tried food water treats i don't know what else to do. Please help
