Can I have more than one Muscovy Drake in the same area? Will they fight?
I want to sell my 'flock' of Muscovy ducks - one Drake but a couple of the new ones might be male. They all get along great but when I sell, will there be a problem with my drakes being put with others?

Will I have to separate my male from them?
