Angry drake

[Straughnie]

I hand reared a beautiful white Indian runner drake and got him 2 girlfriends ( beautiful)
He and his girlfriends have lived with my 6 chickens happily for 1 year
His girls started to lay eggs and now attacks the chickens constantly
I want to re-home the ducks and drake but keep them together
Anyone know how I can do that
Thanks in advance

What Cute Ducks you have! If you have one Drake and all Hens including the chickens, Is your Drake trying to mate with your chickens? If So, this is not good because your Drake could possibly hurt them because Drakes are designed differently then a Roosters in that department.

If you don't want to rehome your Drake you will have to separate him from the chickens and then add a few more Hen Ducks to your flock so you have the correct One Drake to four Hen ratio, so he don't try over mating the two you have.

Good luck and please keep us posted.
