Merry Christmas! I have 2 year old Pekin ducks who mated and gave my 5 healthy babies about 5 weeks ago. We have been letting the babies be with the ducks during the day and bringing them in at night. Night before last, we found one of our babies dead, its down had been plucked completely from under its wings. Tonight when we went to get the babies, 2/4 of them had the same,thing, but we went out early in the evening. (There is SO MUCH BLOOD!!!) Anyway, which duck could it be? The male trying to be dominant? We thought so at first because it was a male that was killed but the two that were hurt today are one each male and female and our large male baby doesn't have a scratch. They leave the babies alone during the day and seems to "attack" at night. Anyone have any ideas??
