Should I be worried?

[picky]

Can anyone please tell me what is going on? The rouen "Dolce" is the first time that comes up to visit Eliza and Pedro (the runners). Now each time Dolce approaches them, Eliza does this to Pedro. Can anyone check the video and tell me what is going on?

Looks to me like the girls maybe trying to see who can charm the drake, are they young ducks just coming into lay? and breeding age? Even females will have spats although this didn't look quite like when my Muscovy girls spat. yours looked more like they were wanting to begin court ship.

That's Ducks being ducks, mine always do that (Khaki's) Male and female both do it. Nothing to be concerned about, I also have a female that does that to me when i'm feeding peas... assuming it means GIVE ME MORE!

Well they are couple, the runners (female and male). The rouen is 4 months old and the indian runners are 19 months old. I have never seen the runner mating since they got here a (month ago).

I though she didnt like him anymore (runners), since he doesnt mate with her. I had being wanting duckling from the runner and I have tried everything with them and nothing had work. Even a little pond for them I made...

Looks to me like Eliza is very interested in getting with your male Rouen, so she's kind of pushing away Pedro. From what you've said about him not mating with her yet, this makes sense. Seems like Eliza is looking to replace her defective mate and try a new one.

Are you sure Pedro is a drake? I'm having a hard time seeing a drake feather on either one of your Runners.

Right, that was my first impression!

He does not have any curly feather, but Im sure he is because he was mating when I got him. He was mating with her actually. And his adult feathers are like male for a trout indian runner.

Oh okay well I have no idea why they aren't mating then.
