Naughty Ducks

[Quackmom]

-Hi guys..
I have the same problem. It started out with my drake, now my duck is biting as well- to the point they are drawing blood!! The weird thing is they trade days! One day Waffles; my drake, will come after me and the next it is Hope; my female. Never at the same time. And they never fo after my man- just me!! If I am wearing jeans, he aggressively attacks and pulls at them, she goes for the shoes..
Im pretty heartbroken as these are my babies. I have tried pinching the back of thier neck and "scruffing" them and also picking them up but they go right back to it. Now what???
When I first got on here, I found a thread about dominating them (which is what I thought I was doing) but I can't find it now. Can anyone help me with this? (I.e. how to dominate)
Thanks in advance.

Did it come up for you @Quackmom

I wonder if you need more duck hens as the drake won't be kept busy enough with your 1 duck and he is trying to make you do what he wants. The duck is learning from the drake since he is the leader. The posted link is a good one. Good luck!

I cannot fathom for the life of me why my female is doing this! I take my shoes off outside, and this morning after she attacked me, she VICIOUSLY attacked my slipper like nobodies business!
I just barely finished reading this awesome article, so next time we are trying that.
Anyone else have a female attack duck?

Spoiled Ducks with zero respect for you. Human raised Ducks don't learn Duck behaviour..Momma Ducks teach them so it's up to humans to treat them like Ducks...
