A certain amount of this is just going to happen. .ducks are pretty rough with their sexual behavior. I've even had two hens that were giving each other bald necks playing too much hop on top
Very good to know thanks for your advice!!I have observed with my ducks that sometimes one particular hen can get over mated even when the ratio is good. So even when you are able to get more girls it's something to watch for.
Watch for feathers missing on your girls neck, sometimes they will even get a bald spot and get bloody on their neck and or back.
Time out!! Bad duck!! Haha great to know ill have to practice that if it comes down to it!A certain amount of this is just going to happen. .ducks are pretty rough with their sexual behavior. I've even had two hens that were giving each other bald necks playing too much hop on top
I just try to pull out a drake and put him in time out if he is being extremely aggressive and not giving the girls a break. Especially if they are chasing them around making them run too much and pinning them down on dry land.
Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. But either way it gives the girls a break
A few of my Hens get bald necks but they are the more willing Hens. Duck breeding is rough. All you can do is keep an eye on how randy he is. Separate if needed and get a couple more Hens...
Definitely he is telling you she is his...
..Carry a stick or broom and get him moving away from you, not towards you.

He is definitely a bit aggressive so carry a stick or broom and tap the ground to get him moving. The more chances he gets the tougher he thinks he is...
