My video of drake attacking or mating female duck is this normal?

Date sort Score sort
I have 4 males and 2 females. These makes are ver aggressive. The 2 females try to stay away from them. The female Pekin has bites, missing feathers on the back of her neck. I can't catch any of them but I am about to take a BB gun to these males!
Any other suggestions?
 
Normal mating. I have NEVER had a hen injured by a drake. Currently I have 18 ducks, 12 hens and 6 drakes ( the 3 youngest drakes will be sold or eaten).
 
My Pekins were aggressive when mating--seems normal for them. Mine would usually mate in the water. I had three males and two females.
 
That makes me chuckle. We have 2 Pekins along with the 16 Muscovies. One day in winter, when the only unfrozen water they had was their drinking water--no pool--I saw the female Pekin standing ankle deep in the water dish, being bred.
We have 2 adult and 3 juvenile Muscovy drakes and 11 hens, and I've never seen any aggressive mating or roughness, nor missing feathers, etc., among the Muscovies.
 
I admit to having to watch the video a second time to look at the dog. He is just sitting there watching, like no big deal. It cracks me up!
 
I've watched this again ( for the dog) and it's actually a pretty gentle mating by duck standards. Remember, ducks have this long corkscrewed penis and he has to thread it in correctly. If the hen struggles the mating make not achieve correct docking. Google "duck penis", it will surprise you.
 
I noticed for the first time one of my drakes standing on top of one of my ducks. And they are all less than 4 months old. I will keep an eye on them as you have said.
