Ducks At A Distance

Q&A: Would a mother Mallard Duck attack another mother Ducks Ducklings?

Question by : Would a mother Mallard Duck attack another mother Ducks Ducklings?
HI, i went to the local pond with my father today and we saw five different litters of ducklings, and there was this one really mean mother duck who had three duckilngs that attacked a duckling of another litter of a different mother duck that also had three ducklings and she attacked one of those ducklings and then went after the mother duck.

So do you reckon that this is normal mother duck behavior or does it seem wierd that she would do that?

Please Respond,

THANKS!

I wish I had an answer for you that was what you are looking for. We had a Pekin female and a Khaki Campbell drake. As far as I know, there’ was no successful mating between the two, because of the size difference. Also, our Pekin didn’t care for the drake, so she kept scaring him off.

Would it be advisable to hand raise any of these bird species?

I am interested in keeping some of these birds some time in the prospect, and was wondering if they would get on, and if hand raising would make them better pets. I have hand raised a duckling before with excellent results.
These are the types of birds I’m interested in:
geese, swans, turkeys, chickens, peacocks, quails, ostriches, ducks, phesants, guinea fowl, doves ect
at the second peacocks intrest me the most.
