Hi guys.

We have 3 Muscovies that are all sisters. A month ago, two of them decided to sit on a nest of eggs. Cinnamon Bun, one of the Muscovies, was all alone with the other ducks (different breeds). After the babies had hatched, I separated one of the mothers, Tink, with her babies and let Chardonnay out with Cinnamon Bun and the other ducks. Just recently I have been letting Tink and the babies be with the adult ducks, and no one minds them! Except Cinnamon Bun. She bites the babies and tries jumping on their backs (babies are almost 3 weeks). Now she has been attacking Tink, and it looks really bad. We have been keeping Cinnamon Bun and Chardonnay separate, and at night we separate Tink and the babies from everyone else. Why is Cinnamon Bun attacking? Do we have to do something or will it work out?

(quick note- we wont get rid of any of our ducks, but we will make separate pens for them if needed.)
 
Now its the other way around. Tink and her babies are attacking Cinnamon Bun now. Tink chases her, and the babies bite her.
