Drake mating ducklings

[Plutopilot]

When can I allow my drake to mate my ducklings? 4 months?

I have a 1 year old Drake and 2 ducklings at 2 months now. The drake has always been super aggressive with the ducklings pulling feathers and grabbing them by the neck, so I’ve kept them separate. At 2 months, he is trying to mate with the ducklings. When is it acceptable to integrate them into the flock without worry of him mating/hurting them?

Think it's closer to 6 months.

What breed?
best to wait to introduce until the ducklings start laying eggs, normally between 4-6 months.

My new batch of ducklings this year started laying at 5 1/2 months so yeah

That's way too young! Keep your drake away from them for a couple more months. Especially if he's aggressive.
