Has anyone who has calls delt with aggressive males? I'm at a lost rn!! Need feedback!!

We have had our calls over 2 years we added 5 tht was hatched by them found out all but one was boys so we got rid of 3 out of 5 keeping just one of boy babies as we weren't sure how fertile our male was seeing how he older. Well this spring was our newest males first real mating season which Ik is most aggressive time so we started to separate them at night bc tht was what was the worse all fine then our older male starts attacking the females more and more at night so in a crate at night he went abd other came out. well we hatched a female kept them separate for a while my older male was being awful to her during day so we put him in a crate in the yard with them for a while now they r all fine outside during day together. But as soon as night time comes they go full blown attack mode! Ether the males one at a time with the new female will attack her or the males r fighting eachother. I'm at a lost!! I have 5 more females that in another month will be getting introduced to them and I don't know what to do about these boys!! I'm so over it. I have to have two separate crates at night time one for my poor younger female and one for a male.

sorry for the long rant but I'm so fed up!
 
Yes I am aware of this. We hv 2 males 8 females
We have another pen that has mix of ducks and don't have this issue even with off ratio 🤨 I'm just mind blown with these little ones. My big ones I hv 6 males and 18 females and they all live happily
 
Call duck drakes are certainly voracious. I will sometimes give the girls a break and separate the boys for several weeks when I start hearing the ducks protesting too much and can see their necks are getting bare. I have their pen set up where I can put the boys on one side with plenty of room and the girls on the other side. They can see each other and the boys pace the fence line and lay next to it. The girls will sometimes lay near the boys, but mostly they play in their pool and seem very grateful for the reprieve! Can you set up a separate pen for the boys for a while?
