Mom ducks FIGHTING over BABIES?!

Hi! Our mom ducks are fighting over babies. They were fine for the first week, but know they are arguing. There are nine babies, I think that’s enough. Any ideas?

When I had 3 female muscovy with ducklings I had to keep them from each other the ducklings would see a mama and her ducklings walking next I know they are behind them then I would have to get the ducklings that were to be with the right mama. First week mamas didn't care if they didn't get the original ducklings back but boy after that, So I kept each mama separated with her own ducklings until the ducklings were about 3 weeks old. Then the moms aren't as crazy.

Okay thanks! We separated them so the babies won’t be harmed.
