ajayb Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 We have had chickens for a while but are new to ducks, getting three female Khaki Campbells a few weeks ago. They are POL but no eggs as yet. However, I have noticed that occasionally one of them flattens itself on the ground and one of the others looks as though they're trying to mate with it ... Is this just typical juvenile behaviour? Are they establishing a 'pecking order'? Help, please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 It's just normal behaviour - partly a pecking order thing and partly because they are coming up to maturity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajayb Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Thanks, Lesley - that's certainly put my mind at rest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
