Muscovy drake trouble

[mylesmuscovys]

We have a group of muscovys 4 ducks (one is in another paddock raising ducklings) and 2 drakes samuel L Jackson and Donald . Samuel is Alfa drake, Donald has never put up a fight just ran away. Samuel mates the girls almost daily, we have caught Donald mating dutchess the one with ducklings whilst she has ducklings. Samuel came over like he ment buisness and just stood by and watched while his girl was mated! samuel usually chases him away just for coming near the girls. When we had the whole flock together with the babies we noticed the girls Pecking at the ducklings (1 week old) so we moved the whole flock but left one girl behind Angel. The next day we noticed Angel pecking at dutchess very roughly. So we moved her aswell, in the new paddock with the rest of the flock I noticed Angel pecking at Donald the drake! Is this normal? She certainly isn't an Angel anymore! Can anyone take on this question, sorry for writing so much. Thank you!

Sorry I know nothing about ducks but, it really sounds like a soap opera on tv., maybe "All My Ducklings."
