Why are my two females mating?

[Duckmommy5309]

Why are my two female ducks mating? I have seen my two female ducks have acted strange, like I have walked outside and seen the one on the others back doing the head bite thing that the males do. Is this just a dominance thing or is it something else I should look into? Please help!!!

This is completely normal. I find my Mallards commonly mating in the pond, both are hens.

It's normal, a way of showing dominance.

They're not actually mating, it's how one female can be dominant over the other one.

Yes it's a dominance thing.

Yes it's a dominance thing.

I'm not 100 % sure about this as they will take turns and actually invite the mating. Ducks are very sexual creatures. The same behavior is common among pigeons.

I just want some pics to see if they are in fact both female.
