Four Drakes and Two Hens - Guidance Needed

[Suedan]

Out of 6 ducklings that are now three months old, I have one Mallard hen and one Swedish hen. Two Khaki Campbell drakes and Two Pekin drakes.
In multiple threads it sounds like I am going to have problems. I would like to keep them all. Should I go ahead and plan to separate the hens to live with my chickens? Can the four drakes live together in harmony?
Many Thanks!

My understanding is that the drakes will get along as long as there aren't any ladies around to compete over.

Keep one Drake with the hens and rehome the others. Breeding season you will see how quickly things change.

If you want to keep them all then I’d say that is your only option or get more females and that probably will still be trouble with the drakes.

Hi Miss Lydia! Will it work if the boys are separate but they still see the girls through fence? I'm too attached to give them away.

Hopefully a separate area will work

This is just too painful. Why I was blessed with so many boys. These are my first. I just can't give them away. Oh dear.

I'm preparing now before they are sexually mature, lol. That's why I am asking for your guidance.
