Khaki campbell bullying call duck
« on: March 24, 2011, 19:19 »
Hi,
 I was wondering if anyone could tell me why 1 of my khaki campbells is suddenly bullying my white call duck, They are both drakes and have been with us for 3 weeks now but this behaviour only started a couple of days ago and I feel so sorry for Alfie ( little white 1)  :( The other ducks dont seem to be bothered.
Thanks

Do you have plenty of girls to keep them happy?  Or could they be fighting for dominance over a couple of girls for mating rights?

Yes they have a good run and pond thanks Tom,
Casey - could be the answer we lost a couple of our call ducks so only 1 female call and 2 female khakis but we have 4 drakes all told, we're trying to get hold of a few more call ducks. do you think Alfie will be ok  ??? he keeps hiding

Well that is your answer. You have too many drakes, not enough ducks and it is the season for it. Boys will all be vying for attention and dominence. You need more ducks if you have the room or you will need to reduce the number of drakes. If you can separate them during the worst of the season it might help.
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
