Does this stop and is there a way to prevent it

Nothing short of separating them side by side till Sept. and as for them biting you carry the broom out and keep them away from you. Another way is to flatten them on their bellies one hand behind the neck so they can’t turn an bite the other where tail an body meet. You hold them down till they stop fighting to get up and if the start again you do it all over . You need to teach them you will not tolerate them biting you. And your holding them down with just enough force they can’t fight you, not to hurt them. @thumper650 has drakes

I did this when my drake started trying to push me around and it worked really quickly! You’re just basically speaking duck language and saying “no. I am the boss here”

Funny, none of my drakes have ever bothered me. One follows me but stops when I turn and look at him!
