But wouldn't that stress the birds out?Separate one or both males. It's the only thing that will stop fighting and over mating.
Not if you do side by side runs where they can see but not touch each other. Even without that, it is better than having them fight and potentially hurt the females. Male ducks can take several females to one male, and still cause problems during the breeding season, which is now. They will get along better in the off season.But wouldn't that stress the birds out?
Couldn't I just increase the amount of females?Not if you do side by side runs where they can see but not touch each other.

Yes, but it is no guarantee that the males won't continue to fight or over mate the females. Really it's a trial and error process to see what will work in your situation. If you want more females, then get some and see if it changes things.Couldn't I just increase the amount of females?
