Keeping just Drakes

snick4zoo · Apr 28, 2015

Hello. I am getting 10 duckling that are straight run Anconas. We will not know the sex of them and I have a friend who only wants the females. I was considering trying to keep just the males so we do not need to find other homes for them. Has anyone tried this and had success??

Thanks, Nikki

I just kept Drakes for almost 3 years. I never had issues with it besides more aggression during breeding season.

There are several people on here who run drake-only flocks. You should be able to do this without too much difficulty.

I had 2 males for a while and never had a problem with them. I think if they are all raised together you should be fine.
