Hello, I'm new to the site although I use it to look up everything about my ducks!
Anyways I started my flock with two Pekin ducks in August. Sadly one of my dogs got loose and killed one of them and left the other very injured (she made a full recovery) So after the attack I bought two Welsh harlequin ducks so my Pekin wasn't alone. A drake and hen pair. When I introduced the WH and my Pekin, the WH pick on her relentlessly. I figured at first they had to find the pecking order. But it's been weeks and it's getting to the point they're pulling out all the feathers on my Pekin and wont let her eat or drink. Is there anything I can do to help? I tried having them together but separated (tbrough a fence)they where fine that way but not when they're actually together. (Also on not to sure if the Pekin is a hen, but she hasn't gotten a curly tail feather yet) TIA!
