I have 4 Muscovy ducklings, 3 male 1 female and one of the males is pulling feathers out of the other 3. This is drawing blood. He’s doing this all the time. I have separated them for the moment but not sure how to proceed with this????

How old are they, and what is the living situation like, brooder, pen, etc? Photos would be very helpful
 
Separating him for now is important. I have not experienced such aggression, but I have had a pekin drake that pulled out the feathers all down one side of the face and neck on his clutch mate drake. He was separated for about 8 weeks, and that broke the habit, mainly because the clutch mate decided to stand up for his rights! They were tightly bonded and remained bonded after the separation
