I have two Muscovy ducks and one silkie chicken who grew up together since they were a few weeks old.
They love eachother and get along for the most part but every once in a while one of my ducks will chase and peck our chicken. Our silkie is much smaller than the ducks and pretty skiddish so of course he screams and I am just wondering is this normal behavior for ducks and chickens? I am not sure if the duck is doing it malliciously or simply just nibbling like ducks do and the chicken overreacts? Help pls
