If you don’t want ducklings just pick up eggs everyday. That’s what I do and many more on here. Females will lay even if there is no drake.

Drakes can fight when hormones are high especially when there are girls near byThat’s what’s I was afraid of but was trying to ignore lol. At first I was upset but now I’m thinking I’m really enjoying having them so maybe I’ll just get a bunch of females and have a big flock. I have plenty of space. I’m confused about one thing though. I’m not planning to breed them so if I have separate runs and coops for them do I still need to keep the 4-5 hens per drake ratio? And if I keep them separated but nearby each other do I need to worry about the drakes fighting? Thanks for all your help!
