How many more females are you planning on getting? For three males I would suggest around 16-20 females for all of them, there will still be some fighting, but it will be less then it is now. You will have to either separate the victim drake or separate the mean ones into a different pen, Sadly, you cant just tell the drakes to just be nice, If they can touch each other they will fight.
 
Does the one female get along well with the drake that is being picked on? If so, try putting her in with him or him with her and see how it goes. I had to do that with mine last year and it worked well for me and the ducks.
 
the one male has picked on the female but he’s just trying to mate I currently have them in separate pens I’m going to try to let him and the female out with each other

Hey guys I have 4 ducks 3 male 1 female I currently have the female separated until I get more females but the problem I’m having is the 2 males are picking on the one ripping his feathers out on the back of his next. Wondering if anyone has some tips on what to do. Thank you

put him with the girl, if it’s only him with her and he’s not the dominant drake i think it’ll be fine. just make sure he is not overmating her. are u planning to get 12+ female ducks? if not i would just rehome her and have an all drake flock.
 
I actually just got 6 more females once there ready to go outside hope that might change some things
