So I have 4 ducks and they are all turning 1yr old in June, they are all male from what I can tell bc they all have the male tail curl, they are just farm ducks no specific breed, but when in the kiddie pool one keeps like trying to I think breed(climb and bite the neck of another) with one other, is it possible I have a female, like they all have that distinctive curl I was told was a male thing and I haven't had any lay any eggs yet but I dont know if that was because they were too young.
 
Does one QUACK?.....Drakes are raspy...;).......Males will breed each other and aggressively without Hens to breed with when hormones are high..:(........

If you have a Hen ?...You will need to save Her life from them..:(
 
It sounds to me like you have all drakes, but they're getting caught up in their own hormones. I've heard of drakes mounting each other when no hens are present.
 
Do I need to be concerned? I mean I just today lost the runt of the clutch because he apparently was picked on (we didn't know until it was too late), I just want to know if I should be more attentive to certain things or if I can leave them be
