Is it bad for a male duck not to have sex?

[torinunez]

My boyfriend and I have a flock of 6 ducks: 1 male, 3 females, 1 older female who is a bit gender confused, and 1 male call duck. Our little call duck is much too small to mate with the ladies we currently have, and unfortunately we are just not in a position to get anymore ducks at this point. Will that cause any long term problems for him not to be able to do it? Is there any way for a duck to be neutered or something along those lines? Thank you.

I don't think it will hurt him much and you'd be amazed at how hard they will try. More than anything he'll be frustrated from trying.

I have tiny OEGB roosters that ride around on the back of the Large fowl hens trying hard but never making it. lol

I think an avain vet maybe able to neuter a drake but it would be very expensive

My Call Drake could breed Appleyard Hens..Drakes figure it out. Also Hens do act out breeding behaviour ..Ducks are sexual and they breed each other..

So you’re saying he can figure it out at some point? He’s still fairly new to our flock, so they’re still adjusting to him so they keep denying his attempts

Update: how crazy, just a few hours after I posted this, he mounted my female buff this morning! He is currently a very happy boy. Thanks

Congrats they are doing as it should be done..Never think they can't. Smaller Males can and do breed bigger females in all animals.
