My 3 month old female duck is picking on my 13 yr old chicken

What in the heck is up with that?
I did notice the male mounting the female in the pool...is it hormones? will it stop?
She gets on top of the chicken, sorta....and is making a heck of a lot of racket. She looks like she is doing that mud-daubing thing on her back.

Hormones most likely. Females are over sexed and drakes are over the top.

We were a bit shocked that they were trying to mate at 3 months. I hope her hormones calm down or she redirects her love interest toward the male. haha

Im surprised she isn’t throwing herself at your drake, boy my Runner female was after all the drakes and the Runners paid her no mind one was too young the other had girls already and didn’t like her

so she went after my Muscovy drake and he had no idea what she was doing

She's so pretty. I'd love to have runner ducks, they are just adorable.
I had a pair once, named Pepper and Paprika.
Awwww that is so funny she is doing the chasing, since normally it's the boys chasing the girls.
I just noticed my goose gets all upset when the drake is mating my female duck...not sure she made them stop or not but she was making quite the ruckus.

My goose does the same thing she breaks up all mating even the chickens I have Pepper!
