I have 2 drakes and 2 hens (Is that what they are called in ducks?) together in a pen. They are call ducks. One of the drakes is completly mean to the other drake. Should I take one of them out?
 
You should probably separate them by pairs. It is getting close to breeding season and they will definitely fight! Just split their pen, if you can, or make a second pen and have an area for each pair.
 
it is simply a case of whos on charge.

I have 7 drakes. and Big lenny is certainly the head of the house-hold, thats not like saying like with roosters he gets all the action

, infact he hardly gets any!..but he does like to boss everyone else around.

the two drakes won't beat the crap outta one another like roosters will either.
 
Thanks for the replies.
Yes, the one getting picked on IS getting all the "Action".

I think I will seperate them into pairs because I have 2 butterscotch and 2 whites anyway. I am glad they won't kill each other but it does worry me that the one getting picked on is not getting anything to eat and is always in the "Pond" to avoid the bully.
