My Duck attacked my Chicken?

I have a pair of Mallard Ducks and about 4 chickens in a pen together. today My male Mallard Duck was on top of one of my hens biting it on its head. I have no Idea what gotten into him. is it matting season for Mallards and they just get aggressive this time of year or is he just having a bad day. anyone can help me with what he is up to.

Update:

the lady we got him from said he was actually hatched by a chicken and lived most his life with chickens.
