2 drake and 7 female. This last spring was bad with the drakes. I am currently waiting on getting more females until we get the new duck house and pen made, the current duck house is too small
I can definitely see why you want to add more females. One thing you could do is keep the old coop and pen for the males during the breeding season when they are especially bad. A lot of us put our drakes in drake jail during worse time of the breeding season. That also may make it work better if you add some runners.
The problem with keeping the old pen is, we are putting the new pen in the same spot just making it bigger. In the spring I did block the boys off in a corner in the pen with a baby gate and that worked pretty well during the day. And together at night. And the new duck house I am planning to put in a countertop inside and put chicken wire along the underside of it with a gate for a cage for the boys if I need to separate them or injured ducks. I do already have a little duck in the flock, it was supposed to be a full-size welsh harlequin but I think she had one call duck parent because she is not full sized but not call ducks size either
Sounds like you have a good plan for your drakes, and you are already familiar with how the drakes will handle a small female. If you have space, I would think about also getting a couple larger females too. I would probably wait to add the runner females into the flock until they are mature. Otherwise, I think it should be ok. You are aware of the potential issues and have a plan to deal with it.
They are beautiful ducks! I can see how she is smaller than your other one.
