Can multiple drakes live together?

[redhen]

i am thinking of ordering a few more ducks to add with my 2 females....what would you suggest a healthy/happy hen to drake ratio be? i will only have 1 house for them..so they will HAVE to get along.....any advice, please and thanks!

sounds like a great deal to the drake huh?

so, if i had 4 hens and 2 drakes...could they ALL live together?? and not fight??

Well....I have a group of 3 drakes and 3 hens---this group gets along great

Also, I have a group of 7 Drakes and 6 hens....they are about 5 months old and still get along, they are their adult colors...but I an going to reduce the males in this group, just don't need so many

Xfiles and Tofu, what breed(s) do you have? I take it they were raised together?
