No. they are not trying to hurt them. The drakes see the hens as "their flock" they are all coming into mating age. They are trying to make the hens submissive. It will not result in anything but a few ruffled feathers and some loud quakes and clucks but they will catch on soon enough and stop bothering the hens. Getting a rooster will also put an end to the ducks confused cross species behavior.

What does it mean when the cow is getting ready to have birth biting at her rear?
This question does not make any sense. Are you asking what's the meaning of a cow "biting at her rear" or that she's getting ready to give birth and biting at her rear or something else entirely? It almost sounds like a rhetorical question, or a question that answers itself, with you asking what the meaning of a biting her rear is and pretty much answering it by also mentioning that she is getting ready to give birth.
