If you have a lot of aylesbury ducks and have introduced a female mallard, they may just be trying to set the pecking order. Aylsbury's are large ducks, and they may not accept the duck that is a lot smaller than them. It is the pecking order.
I recommend putting the mallard into a small cage and put it into the duck run. This way, the other ducks cannot attack the mallard, and will get used to her presence. I do this when introducing any new ducks/chickens into my chicken/duck run. At the end of the day, try releasing her again, and see how that goes.

Mallard Ducks, Pheasants.
They are the most common type of ducks and really interesting. Mallard ducks also behave like any other birds, building cup-like nests made up of grass and leaves. Female mallard ducks usually lay around five to fourteen greenish-white eggs in each clutch, and it's the female mallard that takes care of their ducklings.
Pekin ducks have orange bills and feet, while Aylesbury ducks have pink bills and white feathers. Additionally, Pekin ducks are generally stockier with a more upright posture compared to the slimmer Aylesbury ducks.
The mallard ducklings are probably not pure mallard ducklings. The female mallard probably mated with a pekin duck, which are the big white ducks, Pekins are yellow as ducklings.
The population of mallard ducks in Louisiana is estimated to be around 1.2 million.

The incubation time for mallard ducks typically ranges from 28 to 30 days. The female mallard will lay a clutch of about 8 to 12 eggs and will incubate them by herself, while the male often stays nearby to protect the nest. During this period, the female will leave the nest briefly to feed, but she generally remains close to ensure the eggs are kept warm.
