For starters, I have a mallard pair which I got at more or less at one week of age. Currently, they're about one year, their birthday is next week. They never exactly imprinted on me and I can walk up to them and pick them up and whatnot. Recently, my Drake has become absolutely terrible. He detests shoes of any sort, won't let me touch the hen without being bitten, won't take treats/let my hen eat them. Basically, he's mean. I've tried picking him up, pining him down, locking him up. Nothing works for the long term, no matter how long I do it. 5-10 minutes and he comes back to bite me when my back is turned. He never does it when I'm facing him.
Will this pass?I'm aware with the coming of spring they go crazy but this is a bit sudden. He used to be such a sweet duck. I have two females ducklings that I'm raising so the poor girl doesn't have to bear all of his urges by herself. She gets so upset without him. They're my pets so I have no interest in getting rid of him. My girl on the other hand is great, nice as can be! And a great egg layer.
