cayuga duck thread

[DexMax]

hi everyone,
we have 2 male Cayuga ducks (bit of an oversight on my part buying 2 males). They are around 2 1/2 years old.
Unfortunately we got them when they were around 5 months old so they have never really been tame which is a real shame as they are so pretty.
Any tips for taming them?
They have also recently started fighting each other which I can only assume is due to breeding time. However, its becoming more frequent and more violent and the smaller one has lost a numch of feather behind his neck.
Other than buying a female duck is there anything we could do to try and chill them out a bit? I read that potentially the only option would be to have separate areas for them.

Thanks for your help and nice to meet you all

Ducklings got a bit into feather plucking for a few days but they stopped now just waiting for the feathers to grow in now.

Anyone wanna help me. Got these at 9 days old straight from momma duck. Penned but not handled. So my question is. They are from cayuga parents. Same hatch, but why is "bronco" grey?

Don't know but a thought came up. Could this be an albino version of a Cayuga duck?

Maybe??? His/her down is black underneath and the tail feathers that are growing in have black veins. Bill is emerald green with yellow underneath. Legs black but feet are black w a little yellow. Bigger than the other two it seems. He/she is the quietest and more attentive when I speak to them. It's cool anyhow. Is it possible the mallards and cayuga mated? I guess so. They are animals. Lol
