Can I talk about ducks here?

I have a flock of young ducks. About 2 months old.

One had some issues walking and is very small. The other ducks kept picking on him. I took him to the vet who thinks he had a nutritional deficiency and so I’ve been supplementing his diet and he was separated from the flock due to the bullying

He’s now all better and I’ve reintroduced him. However the others still pick on him a bit, and he’s always alone

*I say ‘he’ but I have no idea of sex.

Can anyone suggest what I can do to help? Would he be happier alone?

Hi

I have 4 ducks.

Try holding the bully down firmly but obviously without hurting ... for 5/10 seconds this should show him who is boss.
Do this every time you see it happen.

Ducks prefer to have company so hopefully this will pass.
