One Duck Being Picked On

[Williamspage]

I have 6 calling ducks. 3 males 3 females (just by chance not design). The 3 original ducks (Daisy, Daphne and Donald) always got on fine. We then introduced 3 more (Donut, Dotty and Domino). As expected there were a few tussles but after a couple of weeks it all settled down and they were all getting in well. Domino (male) had now decided to attack Daisy every time she comes near the rest of the flock. For the last 3 months or so she has been on her own doing her own thing. He won’t let her anywhere near. When I put them in the duck house he attacks her all the time. I hoped it would pass after they sorted the pecking order but it hasn’t. I would welcome any advice.

The behavior is unlikely to change. For me, Domino would have to move on to a new home.

Before moving Domino on, I would try keeping him in drake jail for a few weeks. Sleeping in a confined are or dogcrate int he duck house and in a restricted area of their run during the day.
That might be enough to break the behavior
