My jumbo Pekin drake is in love with my Buff Duck and they've not had any problems, but they make me nervous. I think the biggest concern is when multiple drakes start attacking a hen. I've seen a drake try to mount a drake that's mating with a hen. He never actually mounted the drake but the poor hen spent more time under water than she should have. Plus if a larger drake tried to mate with a Call hen on dry land, that could seriously hurt her. Just so many possibilities. I do have a small wild Mallard hen here that will have 3 to 5 drakes after her. She usually has to fly off if this happens Just sitting here thinking about it, if my Jumbo Pekin tried to mate with one of my Call hens I think her entire head would fit in his billI have one Mallard that is a lot smaller than the rest of my ducks and they don't pay any attention to her at all other than the drake mates her .
