Hello everyone I am at my wits end lol my two beautiful roosters keep attacking my poor female ducks so much that the ducks dont come to the yard anymore. Every time I call my ducks to the yard to eat both roosters single out the slowest duck and just attack her in a mating way. I feel so bad for my ducks they have barely been eating and the male ducks are just as afraid as the females. I also just noticed today that some of my chickens are beginning to act aggressively toward my ducks as well and not letting them eat. Its really beginning to grind my gears. The roosters have never shown aggression toward me but can roosters be selectively aggressive? I read that the roosters can not hurt the ducks because they have no male parts but im more concerned about my ducks not being able to eat. A personal private duck coop is in the makings but im not sure what to do about my roosters? They dont really have any purpose other than to fertilize the eggs for the spring but im not sure if I want chicks yet. I had another rooster from the same flock that was doing the same thing to my ducks and I sold him hoping the habit would stop there and it seems it has not. I am very open to suggestions I just need to stop these attacks on my poor ducks.
P.S I free range both my chickens and ducks.
