mallard drakes

[Boogiesmom]

We have 3 hen mallards and 1 drake. They are 5 months old and today we noticed that the drake has pecked the feathers off of one of the hens back. Can someone tell me why this is happening and what do we need to do!!

Hello there and welcome to BYC!

So glad you could join our community! Sorry about your ducks. You will want to post this in our ducks section for all those duck experts to help you out with your birds...https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks

I don't know anything about ducks, but I hope someone can help you out there and you can get your hen back to good health soon.
