New Buffs

I am new to posting but have been reading for a long time. Such a great place for info!! Our 3 new Buff ducklings arrived today in good health. I've noticed this afternoon, one of them is...well for lack of a better way of saying it...a pain in the a** to the other two lol. She kind of walks along behind them or beside and pecks at them. Should I be worried? Otherwise she seems fine. Is this typical...establishing some sort of 'pecking order'?

Newly hatched ducklings and chicks pick at everything. If the behavior escalates to the point that the others are being injured, I would separate them.

I agree with @sourland , newly hatched ducklings love to peck at everything they see. If the fighting persists and you do separate make sure to use a clear divider so they can see and hear each other.
