I have a trio of Crested Blue Swedish Ducks who are penned in an area about 8X10 feet. The two females are quite prolific layers and I have have successfully hatched many ducklings in an incubator. The Drake is very agressive and has killed several birds who got in his pen. One of the females began setting on eggs a couple weeks ago. I am worried about how the drake will act towards the babies. Should I separate them? Will the other female be agressive towards them as well? I'm sure the mother will protect them as much as she can, but I'd love some advice. I can always put the babies in a brooder, but I would like to let nature take its course unless means disaster.
Thanks.
