mating issues

Date sort Score sort
If the mating is fairly brief, I would not do more than add more girls. If she is under for a long time for a duck, whole head under water for a minute or so, or she is acting afraid, I would maybe give him away to someone you trust. If she acts unafraid I would not worry. Separating him would probably not work if you intend to put them together again because he will try to make up for lost time when he does get in with her. I had a Blue Swedish drake get rough with hens, he was hurting their legs and holding them under. He got over it. Maybe yours will too. Maybe a big expert could tell you something I do not know.
 
Yay she doesn't seem afraid and sometimes she asks for it but only in their pool outside of the pool they both seem not interested

He was already in and she got in after? I know this looks bad but honestly It is normal duck behavior. as long as it's one drake to one duck. He does let her bring her head out of the water right, mine does but it does look like they will drown them for sure.

Ducks like mating in their pools it's easier for them. you answered your own question by observation, she isn't afraid and she asks for it, totally normal, best to just stay out of it as long as he isn't hurting her.
