I have two ducks, a Drake and a hen and they are almost a year old. The male has recently started becoming aggressive towards me and I assume that’s because my hen started laying eggs a couple months ago. I have read that I need to show my dominance over him and gently pin him down when he does come at me. However, he only does that when I’m turned away from him, and if I turn back towards him, he runs. So I don’t know how to stop him from attacking the back of my legs if he flees when I get in a position to grab him. He is a runner duck so he is quick. He also doesn’t attempt this every time I turn my back, is fine if I’m facing him/around him, and he seems to only attempt this when I’m headed out of the duck run. Any advice? Is there a better way? I’m sorry if this is a silly question
