Why does my duck peck my chicken

[slordaz]

No, he INSISTS on always sleeping wedged in between the ducks. I think this is when our duck gets annoyed and pecks him. We may try to get another chicken today and see if this helps

Remember Bio security new birds should be kept in quarantine for 2-4 weeks so nobody gets sick, after 2 weeks slowly work on introducing, put the new chicken where they can see the others but neither can go after, then supervised visits to make sure there are no issues

Picked up these two pullets today. Black Australorp and buff Orpington. Fingers crossed this solves the problem.
If anything, we will just keep the ducks and chickens separate

Be sure to do introductions slowly. Congrats on your two newbies they are cuties!

Thank you, will do! Keeping them separate til they get a little bigger to integrate
