I can't tell you how helpful this is. I have a 6 mo old Pekin who has started acting like yours. I thought he was begging for peas, and if I pick him up and cuddle him he leaves me alone. But I had to laugh when you showed your hickey---- I got one this morning just like that. If he wouldn't bite QUITE so hard, it would be cute, but his little jaws are strong!
@@melif.6687 I have a Rouen who is a little runt. The pekins, 6 months bigger would beat him up if I let them get together. I am hoping the end of mating season will bring calm,
@@richiejohnson yeah me too my Rouen decided to fight the rooster and the rooster got him good I’m pretty sure it’s also because of mating season but we’ve separated him from the rooster for now
Thank you for this demo. My drake Bailey started doing this to me suddenly when we moved he and the Mrs into the big coop with the chickens and took their small coop away. We did this for their safety. He seemed extremely pissed off about it and started getting aggressive with me the very next morning. He does to me exactly what yours is doing. I read an article as well and started pinning him down but found the lesson didn’t always take. Seeing you do it here has shown me what I’m doing wrong… not holding his head down! I will try this tomorrow!
My duck will literally skin you alive if you get into his territory its a pain in the ass to change his water and give him food and i have no idea what to do with him
Thank you for the video, I was this close 🤏🏽 to going out and throw hands with my damn drake I swear to god I was about to yeet that damn squakty squakty thing into the neighbors yard.
My 4 month old Cayuga has been making angry feathers and biting without release. Caused mild bruising. I pinned him down instinctively. Questioned my actions. Came here. Found out I was right. Lol.
Thank you for the advice, my duck is just starting this with me, wen ever I sit down he try’s to bite me ..so. I will try this to…I raised him from a baby…thank you..
Cooper Family Homestead thank you, if I had more than 2 ducks he’d be a roasted duck. But I don’t want to have a loner duck so we’re trying to teach this guy.
My male muscovy has suddenly decided to be aggressive toward me which is new since he usually loves to be petted. I'm a dog trainer, not a duck trainer aha so I've no idea how to fix it!
I have two ducks a male Rouen & male Pekín. The Rouen is named Dawn and he’s sweet and love me LOL. The Pekín Is Jerry and he’s well... he thinks he’s the dominant one. He does the same thing your duck does but to my mom. She has been reading different ways to stop him but sometimes just gives up and grabs him and hold him in her arms. “He just needs a hug” she says LOL. Imma tell her about the technique you showed. Hopefully it helps ! Thank you!
As long as it's held in that position and can't move until it fully submits that should be enough. This is could take several minutes before you can release it.
He is already acting dominant with his constant quaking and coming right up next to you. 2:55 He is testing the waters and trying to keep that dominant position real hard here, but you all ready have been working with him so he is getting slower about it and more timid, testing the waters, so-to-speak, to see what he can get away with.
I had a yr. old Peking who was acting aggressive like yours. I did a similar move to show him who the dominant one is, which worked. Lately he has turned his aggression on the younger females . We have 3 India runners, one who is a male (also 1yr.) & 2 females who are 6 mo.. It has come to the point that we will have to re-home him asap as he took out the rt. eye of one of the females. His aggression absolutely escalated & he now sits in an empty chicken coop until we can redo w the drake.
First off. Looks like a very nice place to live. I did not sigh up for this. My Daughters bought a duck(seems like the start of a joke). It was living in there room. They had no idea of how fast they grow and how much they poop. Long story short. I am taking care of Juicebox. He does this to me off and on. I grip his bill(gently) and he stops for a while. Going to try your way next.
I noticed you have only two ducks and rooster for hens. Wanted to know if it goes well because I only have two ducks and thinking on adding one rooster when I add few more hens
I think we might of read the same article lol. The thing is i only had to do it once and now he avoids me completely but has started attacking my kids pretty badly and the drake has pretty much taken over our yard. My kids (3,5,10) all pin him down too but he continues to come at them 😭 idk what to do and my husband said if hes back in 2 wks and the drake hasnt calmed down he's gana get put down.
I have the same problem. I feel so sorry for your drake, they can't help how they are. And I believe I've read that article too, it's one of the only ones that doesn't say just eat him. I'd hate to resort to rehoming (and let's face it, no one wants and aggressive muscovy, so it'd probably just be a death sentence). No way in hell am I eating my baby.
Know this is a year late. But my understanding is you need to do it long enough that they completely stop resisting and literally just lay still. This maybe on the order of a couple of minutes, and to repeat it similarly every time they act aggressively, until they accept your dominance and stop acting aggressive.
I own an extremely aggressive duck. It’s an inside mallard male duck. It imprinted in my brother but attacks me and my brothers girlfriend. How long did it take for him to break that habit? I’ve been doing it for a few weeks and he still does it. Quackie Chan is living up to his name.
This just happened a few minutes ago to me... male duck attacked female and was holding her neck out of the blue...i put my hand on his neck and separated them... i don't get it...they grew up together... they are going to be separated feeding and sleeping... the male may have to go... so sad...i raised them both from babies 😢smh... glad i found your chanel.
I need help with my ducks, we purchase two ducklings and they always been together. I notice that one of them is been super aggressive towards the other one. I’m not sure what to do. Help please
I took my drake and held him belly up tight but not squeezing him for about 3 mins. Like a football. I was walking around with him with energy like he wasn't anything. He never chased after me again.
dominating any pet is bad, you should not do that. you should try getting a dominant rooster and have him where the duck is for like 2 weeks and it will be good. i have a trained female duck that protects me and when a young chicken or rooster is dominant, i release the duck and it fights the chicken and its ok then
I believe this is recommend because this emulates natural duck behaviour. It's doing it an a way that they can understand, as it's essentially exactly what they do to establish pecking order.
So i have a female miscovy duck and i had hrr since she was catched. She was so sweet and would let me pick her up but now she is almost full grown and now she is getting aggressive. Jow do i change her behavior, there are times i cant walk in frontnof her or when it comes to feeding hernor if she sees someone's or another animal eat she attacks and pecks you hard .
Ok i have two ducks, one male and one female. They were fine a week ago and now they hold each other from neck and have lost a lot of feathers from neck. I read in an article that they show dominance to each other by doing so. I don't know what to do. They don't do it that aggressively but it kinda looks harsh. Please let me know if anyone can help.
To be honest you seem to be way too gentle, and you're even petting it. You won't hurt it if you are just a lot firmer and harsher about it. It's the only way to impress dominance. Even the bit where you hold and pull at the back of its head is like you're pet-scratching it.
You only have one duck, I was told that u had to have at least 3 females to each one male duck or at most 6 to each one because the males over mate one female.
When we got new female ducks my male duck started mating with them and plucking their feathers??? I had him and a duck at first then i added two more ducks now he’s mating with all three of them!
A duck in my yard bit me and i broke his neck for all the other ducks to see. With my bare hands, i made an example for the others to not attack me. Just get the food i throw you; and go about your way. This was 7 years ago. No problems since then.
@@dubz607 i don’t think so. I have a 5 and a 6 year old. To hell with that aggressive duck. Because had it been my kids they he bit, i probably would have killed a few ducks that day.
oh, I just butcher them if they're too aggressive, I don't want any aggressive genes in my flock. also thing this drake was doing was he was trying to mate with your legs, he treats legs like female cause this is how they inprint, drakes are very bad for females, on average they will force them to intercourse. that's why it's important to never have more drakes than hens.
Now the duck will watch a video: "How to deal with humans that want their dominance back by holding you down" endless circle
I can't tell you how helpful this is. I have a 6 mo old Pekin who has started acting like yours. I thought he was begging for peas, and if I pick him up and cuddle him he leaves me alone.

MY PEKÍN DOES THE SAME TO MY MOM AND SHE ALSO GRABS AND HUGS HIM TO STOP HIM HAHAHH! My Rouen duck isn’t aggressive at all it’s only the Pekín !
@@melif.6687 I have a Rouen who is a little runt. The pekins, 6 months bigger would beat him up if I let them get together. I am hoping the end of mating season will bring calm,

Ducks are slow learners and always looking for payback

Thank you! My drake turned into “the anti-Christ” overnight and I could hardly walk into the coop and will try this!
I hate the anti christ
Dude me right now.😂
The other ducks were like "what?"
My duck will literally skin you alive if you get into his territory its a pain in the ass to change his water and give him food and i have no idea what to do with him
This is a serious issue!and thanks for the video

imagine the duck yelling AAFFLACCC
😂😂😂😂
Yes! Very good and inforamtive video you did it perfect! ❤
Thank you so much, about this lesson mam now my drake understands the meaning of nibbling pain😂👌🤗 hope your duck always be healthy and so does you mam
Thank you for the advice, my duck is just starting this with me, wen ever I sit down he try’s to bite me ..so. I will try this to…I raised him from a baby…thank you..
Luna is adorable! We want a puppy so bad lol. Love seeing all your animals. Good luck with the duck. He needs to learn. Great video!!!
Cooper Family Homestead thank you, if I had more than 2 ducks he’d be a roasted duck. But I don’t want to have a loner duck so we’re trying to teach this guy.
Medlin Family Farm he’ll learn. I had to teach our boer bucks who boss is too.
My male muscovy has suddenly decided to be aggressive toward me which is new since he usually loves to be petted. I'm a dog trainer, not a duck trainer aha so I've no idea how to fix it!
I've the same problem. Hope you find some sort of solution, I really need one.
You have to show em who is boss by pinning the ducks down
Hiss at it.
First time viewing. Love your little farm! Definitely wish I knew more about farm animals but we’re trying, got ducks and some new ducklings.
I have two ducks a male Rouen & male Pekín. The Rouen is named Dawn and he’s sweet and love me LOL. The Pekín Is Jerry and he’s well... he thinks he’s the dominant one.

at the farm if one acting aggressive thats the one that gets served for dinner but thats only a short term solution lol
Sounds long term for the duck ;)
@@nic.h kinda irrelevant for the duck seeing is how it will be poop in a couple hours lol
@@eibbor171 crap joke 🤣
Soz couldn't resist
@@nic.h bwhahaha
Do it like you mean it, he might be confused!
Yeah it honestly looked to me like she was petting it.

Sometimes you also have to be prepared to cull.
Thank you my pet duck was being very agreisve
4:00 lol got pwnd by a girl. Love the way he skulks off in disgust when you let him go xD
How to deal with an aggressive duck? Well family, looks like duck for dinner tonight. 😄
When i do this my drake really struggles and is very hard to keep down.

The duck was just playing 🙄
Roflmbo…
I have a mixed flock and nature balances itself. I don’t do a thing.
Thank you!!! This video really helped me out with my aggressive duck.
I noticed you have only two ducks and rooster for hens. Wanted to know if it goes well because I only have two ducks and thinking on adding one rooster when I add few more hens
all my ducks know that i’m the dominant i’m glad
Put out that Ceasar Millan energy. Maybe it works for ducks too.
This actually worked!!
Nice video..I may need to try this with my aggressive drake.
Thanks for the vid, helped mine
My drake does that follows me bites my boots and pants but I thought it was cause he loves me lol

I know why the male go mad . He got mad because he thought you were trying to to mate with his girl
Awesome thank you

GET MORE FEMALES MALES OVER-MATE and the male could cause the female to go blind because of it
I took my drake and held him belly up tight but not squeezing him for about 3 mins. Like a football. I was walking around with him with energy like he wasn't anything. He never chased after me again.
One of my Ancona ducks was really aggressive and rough on my girls, so we ate him.
dominating any pet is bad, you should not do that. you should try getting a dominant rooster and have him where the duck is for like 2 weeks and it will be good. i have a trained female duck that protects me and when a young chicken or rooster is dominant, i release the duck and it fights the chicken and its ok then
I believe this is recommend because this emulates natural duck behaviour. It's doing it an a way that they can understand, as it's essentially exactly what they do to establish pecking order.
I will try this, put him with my Rooster
So i have a female miscovy duck and i had hrr since she was catched. She was so sweet and would let me pick her up but now she is almost full grown and now she is getting aggressive. Jow do i change her behavior, there are times i cant walk in frontnof her or when it comes to feeding hernor if she sees someone's or another animal eat she attacks and pecks you hard .
my muscovy drake is far more aggressive than that, he murdered two pekin ducks
I find that pekin ducks always have this weird aggressive quality.. idk.. just my experience. I hate it so much
Ok i have two ducks, one male and one female.
They were fine a week ago and now they hold each other from neck and have lost a lot of feathers from neck. I read in an article that they show dominance to each other by doing so.
I don't know what to do. They don't do it that aggressively but it kinda looks harsh.
Please let me know if anyone can help.
My Pekin duck does the exact same thing
Laying an animal on its side (duck, dog, rooster, cat, etc) is exactly how to show them you are the Alpha
Beautiful goats..we got 3
To be honest you seem to be way too gentle, and you're even petting it. You won't hurt it if you are just a lot firmer and harsher about it. It's the only way to impress dominance. Even the bit where you hold and pull at the back of its head is like you're pet-scratching it.
No need to use much force. The objective isn't to hurt it, but gently not allow it to move from that position until it stops trying.
The male duck is not trying to dominant you but to protect the female duck. Maybe having more female ducks would solve the problem.
Why do certain ducks do that
You’re backing away making it worse.
My male duck keeps attacking my female duck is this normal and if not how do I stop him
Not attacking he’s trying to mate
You only have one duck, I was told that u had to have at least 3 females to each one male duck or at most 6 to each one because the males over mate one female.
thanks
Fun video! Wish I had a farm with ducks
My ducks name is Fup. Fup duck he’s aggressive
When we got new female ducks my male duck started mating with them and plucking their feathers??? I had him and a duck at first then i added two more ducks now he’s mating with all three of them!
From what I've heard that'd actually be a good ratio of male to female for ducks. As he can over mate with just one.
A duck in my yard bit me and i broke his neck for all the other ducks to see. With my bare hands, i made an example for the others to not attack me. Just get the food i throw you; and go about your way. This was 7 years ago. No problems since then.
That’s too much tho.
@@dubz607 i don’t think so. I have a 5 and a 6 year old. To hell with that aggressive duck. Because had it been my kids they he bit, i probably would have killed a few ducks that day.
So a year before you even had kids, you killed a duck because he scared you? 😂

Not cool, bro
oh, I just butcher them if they're too aggressive, I don't want any aggressive genes in my flock. also thing this drake was doing was he was trying to mate with your legs, he treats legs like female cause this is how they inprint, drakes are very bad for females, on average they will force them to intercourse. that's why it's important to never have more drakes than hens.
