Just need a bit of reassurance really. We rescued 2 Muscovy chicks (well, I say chicks but they're bloody massive) from a sticky situation about 5-6 weeks ago when they were around 7 weeks old. However, they are brothers, and have started fighting, and one is very definitely bullying the other. So, while we have all fallen for these ducks because they are comical and fabulous, and we have a large back garden and we've given them a pool and a lovely shed to sleep in, I'm not sure it's an ideal situation for them and so I think I've just secured them a lovely new home in a family park along the road, where they have lots of farm animals and a huge duck pond and lots of females to "socialise" with.
Everything I've read suggests that keeping more than one male, if you've not got multiple females for them to get it on with, is asking for trouble. So why am I feeling guilty about rehoming my ducks?? sigh
