Problem with ducks. Need some advise

Ok, so the pen is now split and i have returned the duck outside. I actually decided to put her with the male. He is the quietest and least aggressive with her. So far so good. She is eating and drinking and seemed to be ok with being out there. I guess time will tell. She just seems to be too bright and alert to be seriously ill. She has a good wind break and a house filled with straw. I appreciate every body's take on the situation. I did read one other post where almost the exact same thing was happening. Must be the time of year for raging hormones, or the severe boredom of winter.
I hope it works out and I agree I think it's the time of year I'm beginning to see some of mine get pesty with each other and have had to separate 2 of my drakes form their ladies at night. But having her outside will help alot with getting her back with them all when the time comes.
 
Thought I would post an update on the ducks. Glad to report everyone is back together and doing well. I followed everyone's advice and kept switching up the ducks. I was able to put any two ducks together for any given amount of time. However, when I put all four together I would have a problem with everyone picking on the one particular duck. I did persist however and am now able to put them all together again. They do from time to time chase the one duck around but, for the most part they are getting along very well. Everyone is laying eggs daily, and everyone's feathers are intact. A happy group once again!! Thanks for the great advice
