Hey so I recently have been raising ducklings from my own ducks. The two Mama's get along with the two new ducks and drake. However the drake who fathered them isn't getting along with them at all. He bit the young drake and wouldn't let go and I had to split them up. They've been seeing the ducklings since they were 4 weeks old and now they're 8-9 weeks old and are able to stay outside. Another issue is that the drake who fathered the young ducks is also trying to mate with the two ducks.
My mom and I have been talking about the possibility of rehoming the dad but we got him as a rescue because the people who had him before were just going to eat him and I know that's what will happen if he gets rehomed.
Should I wait until both are laying to introduce and is there any way that I can introduce him calmly or do I have to let him and the young drake fight it out?
Also we have a 1:2 ratio of Drake's to ducks
