Runner Duck Advice

[Fowel Frenzy]

Is it normal for the ducks to relentlessly run down chicken flock? Seems that they pick on any hen cought coming out of the hen house.. they act very similarly to a roo..

My Muscovies will pick on a chicken if it gets to close but mostly ignores them. Might be they think it's fun.

When I had runners they didn't diliberately go after the chickens but if the chickens got too close, they would grab the chickens tail. The chickens avoided them. The muscovy I have now are scared of the chickens. One chicken takes advantage of it but the scovy are starting to stand up for themselves. If your chickens are in danger of being injured, I'd seperate them though.
