What's up with this Cayuga?

Hi!
My new ducklings arrived yesterday and the cayuga duckling seems so feisty. She is constantly chasing and biting the wings and feet of the other ducklings even my 2 week old silver appleyard. Here's a video. Any thoughts? It seems like more than pecking order ducky banter, but I don't know.

He is a feisty little guy, Keeping them occupied may help with the fighting, hanging treat balls, putting treats in water or sometimes i'll lay a piece of sod in their brooder, just make sure to provide grit with all of the above if you do any of them. How big is their brooder? Providing plenty of space should help as well.

Thanks! I opened up access to the big brooder and that seems to be helping the others escape a bit more. The cayuga is just so relentless. They are only a few days old so I cranked the heat up in my bedroom so hopefully that keeps them from getting a chill. I'll still put them in the small brooder at night though I think.

Since we just saw this with another I wonder if shipping might have something to do with it? Hopefully in a few days that little one will settle down. Try a mirror too mine loved looking at themselves.

Just an update: My little cayuga finally calmed down after a couple of days. I don't know why she was being so feisty and attacking everyone, but after a couple of days, she stopped and is a happy member of the flock now.
