Can multiple drakes live together harmoniously long term?

[CLovesDucks]

Problems with multiple drakes in a mixed flock include injury to the hens because of gang breeding or drowning of the hens if they have a pool. All drake flocks work for some, but in my experience result in drake fighting and attempts at breeding during the breeding season. Drakes are extremely hormone driven. I agree with Jpat in that you should keep the drake with the best personality/that you like best. Good luck in resolving this.

Thank you for your advice. I appreciate it. I definitely want to do what’s best for my ducks.

No wisdom here! i just repeat what my top 5 favorite BYC members say!

i gave mine away on a local classified site

I didnt care if anyone ate them as much as i was worried of some dork buying him as a novelty then letting him go "free" in the nearest pond

What i like to do if i dont know forsure if offer delivery and see what their homestead looks like.

Drakes are a dollar a dosen this time of year, it might be hard finding a home but i wish you the best of luck!

Thank you!

I've done it through Craig's list twice. I interview the people to make sure my ducks won't be dinner and will have a safe place to live. People may want them in case the drake they have dies so I wouldn't give up looking. It changes all the time. You're in NC and I think @Miss Lydia knows a place that you may be able to bring them to.

Thanks everyone! I may have found a person that will take all three of my drakes. Fingers crossed it all checks out and they can stay together!

I like what you said about some dork setting the drake “free”
