My drake has been pulling out one particular hen's wing feathers at her shoulder and making her bleed. He only does it to her, and he doesn't mate with her. Has anyone else experienced this or know why a drake would do that?

I can’t imagine why he is doing this unless he just doesn’t like her is she a new flock member?

Here's a few rough photos of my muscovys the Drake waight is about 5kg and he has never hurt any ducks bar a few cats which didn't share the same luck when they crossed his path

She's from the duckling group from last year. I wonder if it's his way of getting rid of aggression. I may keep a drake, that are now ducklings, and see if that changes things.

Here are the only two we have at the moment.

Question:
Is there supposed to be this much difference in size between male and female? I feel that our female, Confetti is just so danty and small. Confetti is in the foreground and Cupcake is in the background. They are the same age. They are just beginning to get the growth on their bills.

There is close to 5-6 lbs between my Muscovy drake and his females it’s like the females stop growing at a certain age and those boys just keep it up those are a good exampleCup cake andConfetti.
