Drake over mating one duck

Following up - we kept Flopsy and her best friend Mopsy separated for a few weeks -they would all coop together at night, but in the day kept separate. It's a hassle and not a permanent solution. When back with the flock Clove just immediately goes after Flopsy again. In the time they were separated he didn't pay much attention to the ducks he was with. He'll mate them occasionally, but really he just wants poor little Flopsy. I HATE the idea of rehoming any of them - here they are well cared for and have lots of space to forage all day. But I'm thinking of looking for a safer home for Flopsy and Mopsy. I would rehome Clove but as a drake I think his chances of being wanted are far lower. One last call out for ideas before I go down that sad road....
If you can find a farm animal sanctuary that might be the way to go. They care for the animals and rehome to approved homes. The one we have locally doesn't rehome, the keep all the animals they take in.
