Honestly, I need to go sit on my bench by my pond and listen better. I am hard of hearing so it is difficult. Maybe its just wishfull thinking. The duck in question is doing it regularly to a smaller duck and it's getting quite rough

You know, you can put the duck in a time out. Just separate the duck from the others for a few days to a week. This will put her at the bottom of the pecking order.

Timeouts can work very well. And since as the duck keepers we are responsible for all the ducks in our flocks, including the small ones, there is no need to let any flock member suffer. We are the big ones, the ones who can stop the abuse. Their lives and well-being depend on us.

I am gonna try to catch it. I can put it in an empty chicken coop til this weekend. I notice the picked on one has seperated from pack this morning

When ducks need to be alone, an unbreakable mirror can really help reduce anxiety.

I went out with intentions of catching it but of course it went to the middle of the pond so that was a no go so I decided to sit on the bench for a while. The duck in question has no curled tail feather is dominant and has a throat ear sound that sounds like a bullfrog. The other Swedish quack. I'm thinking maybe I should let it work itself out and I will put an unbreakable mirror in the fencing. I'm grateful for all the help thank you all so much!

The big one in the middle with red on beak is the aggressor. The littler one on tight with black dot on head is the "victim"

New question: someone I know referred to a "miniature Pekin."

I have not come across a breed description elsewhere, and I am thinking based on what I have learned on the Duck Forum, that it could be:

White Mallard
Call
White Magpie

Anyone with experience or thoughts on this?

I was thinking a Call duck myself.

This person may just be used to seeing "jumbo pekins" and are talking about a normal pekin which are a great deal smaller than jumbo pekins. I have a normal pekin and 5 jumbos and the normal pekin (named Carly) is a lot smaller than the jumbos but she looks exactly like them.

@AxolotlLove , about how much does a regular Pekin weigh?
