Has anyone had a problem with a drake attacking the ducklings? I had 7 ducklings all hatched by a broody Mallard hen that were about a week old. One of them was dead in the duck tank this morning. I have it so that it stays full to the top so the little ones don't get trapped in there.
I have been seeing the drake peck at them when I am out there with them. Tonight he got pretty vicious and he was running the ducklings down and pecked them really hard quite a few times before I put him in the penalty box for the duration. He is in a 4X8 grow out pen until I decide the little ones are safe. Does anyone have any advice?
