Tending to my chickens
Our male duck seemed to be nice up until just recently. Now he always tries to attack our top hen, ripping feathers off of her.

We had to put him in solitary confinement, and then after a couple days let him come out and he did the same thing again. He never seems to learn. I'm just wondering, how come he's doing this now and is there anything we can do to stop him from doing this again if we let him out?
 
He has most likely reached sexual maturity and is trying to mate with the hen. If this is a chicken hen rather than a duck hen, his breeding her could cause injury. Keep them separated for the safety of the hen.
