Help with Aggressive Ducks

I would say that you definitely have way to many male ducks and not nearly enough females. Every male duck really needs to have 3 to 4 females each to be happy. So I would say that unless you want to get 14 more female ducks(3 females for every male), you're going to have to sell some of your male ducks and get some more females for your remaining males.

Third ditto. Get rid of the boys if they are being naughty. Yes, I keep thinking of that poor duck who was drowned by the drakes. Poor girl :( Heed the advise you are getting.

Do you have something like Craigs list? And are you willing to let them go as meat birds?  Unless someone needs a drake specifically for breeding, that seems to be about the only way to get rid of them.
 

Where are you located?

Post on craigslist or whatever online classified you have.  Ask if you can put an ad up at your local feed store.  At this point, you really need to do something.  If you can't/don't want to sell them.  Consider giving them away.  People always take free things on craigslist.  If you care if they are used for meat, don't ask.  Or consider processing them yourself.

Otherwise, build a seperate run and house for all but one of the males.  It needs to be well away from the female and the geese and you may end up with fighting between the males.  The drakes will most likely also start to try to breed the chickens which is dangerous and/or deadly for the chicken.  This is one of the hardest things about having any animals but you need to consider the safety of all of them.
