Peculiar Behavior

[Brollywood Farm]

My duck, Connie, has always had this behavior that we thought was aggressive- in defense of the other female duck she has been raised with. Lately, she has been following one of the roosters around and doing those same motions- is it an act of domination? A threat? Or possibly an act of romance? I tried to attach a video but it won't work- what she does is nod her head up and down over and over making sort of chirpy sounds.

My female would always do that when she was showing that she was available to mate with my drake.

That's what I was afraid of. Not that I discourage young love, but he is, after all, from the wrong side of the tracks.

It's just flirting.....If she wanted him she will flatten out on the ground and submit...

He's from the wrong side of the quacks!
