can i keep more then one drake?

[Mariakissinger132]

i have 3 pekins and 2 mallards the mallards are both drakes and we belive the pekins are all girls. i recently got a comment saying have you decided which drake are you going to keep and i got very puzzled. i thought you could keep 2. they have all stayed together so far and have not shown any sighs of fighting. what do i do. do i have to get rid of one? please help?

Some folks have good luck with having more than one drake, and some don't. I've noticed that drakes that are raised together are best friends... until they aren't. They start beating on each other, and fighting over the hens during breeding season in addition to taking it out on the hens.
Solutions. See how it goes, and have a plan for if it goes south. Acquire more hens for your boys, dispatch or rehome one drake.

A two and three ratio would most likely not work very well, you can give it a try, but I would suggest either buying more females, rehoming the drakes, or setting up a drake only pen.
