Bitting other ducklings

[Laurasanchez0]

Hi! Two weeks ago we got the bigger two ducks from atwoods. This monday we got 4 more. I believe they're a different kind but the lady wasn't helpful with a specific type. We've let them interact together and one duckling, the bigger dark bill one isn't very nice. The pink bill bigger duckling is more nice and will let them lay with her ect.

How do I stop the dark bill one from running at, and bitting the smaller ones?

Put a little fencing thing in here to make it half and half? Let them figure it out and monitor frequently? Watch for any injuries?

I'm new to ducks. Any help is very appreciated.

I would put in a divider for now so they can see each other but not interact. It’s typical for ducklings that already have friends to be rude to new arrivals. Try again in a few days and see how they do.

Could you ask your Atwoods what hatchery they get their ducklings from + post photos of the ducklings without the red light? We can try to breed ID.

Thank you! I separated them for the night. The small ones seem to really light the light bill bigger duckling and the other is just not okay with it.
I will find a way to make a divider tomorrow.
I'll attach some pictures! These are the little ones

I think your youngest 4 may all be Golden 300s - it’s a sex-linked hybrid breed that produces many appearances for their offspring. All of the females are brown-ish, and all of the males are black-ish. If I’m right on the breed, then I believe all of them are female
The darkest of the 4 could also be a Khaki Campbell.

Your larger 2 seem to be a Welsh Harlequin (dark bill) and a Pekin (light bill).
