Our drake has got in with the 6 week old ducklings which are his babies
He has mounted one in particular and has quite badly hurt her back
A lot of her feathers have been stripped and there was a small amount of blood on here and his belly was bloody obviously from mounting her
Is this him trying to kill her or just to mate?
Will she likely be ok?
When should the ducklings be introduced to the adults (they are all runner ducks)?
Thank you guys

Drakes are randy bu###rs and don't care if it's their daughter or granny, they are also serial rapists. Best keep them away from the youngsters.
