Drake really, really, really LOVES chicken

I haven't had an "relations" between my chickens and ducks, but I did have a Goose who was "confused" for a while and mating with my ducks. Poor ducks.
 
Seriously, is he hurting her ? I'm mortified to say that this has been going on for a long time and I just finally thought to look it up.
 
I have a call drake that is in love with one of my hens, he follows her everywhere, when she is in the nest box he sits underneath and calls until she has finished laying (I dont know what he will do if she every goes broody). I have never seen him try to mate with her but he has no interest in any of the ducks we call him the hen duck ,his real name is Lance because he survived against all the odds when my dog took a 2 inch lump out of his chest on New years day
