Drake singled out

[Whiiit6]

I know this is a poorly balanced flock, and I’m working on fixing it:

I have one Pekin drake, 4 Rowen Drakes and 1 Rowen hen. Only one drake (Morgan) is mating with the hen, so SHE is okay for now. My more urgent concern is that Morgan is aggressive with just one other drake (Abe) and he’s been completely exiled from the flock. Morgan is peaceful with the other three drakes.

I’m not sure what to do about this. I’m tempted to put Morgan in drake jail but then I worry it might start a war when he’s out, OR may lead to my hen being hurt by the 4 drakes who won’t have Morgan to compete with.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

Thanks!

Oh, Morgan is also trying to mate with my Pekin which is super confusing. Is Morgan confused, or is my Pekin actually a female without a loud honk? lol

I’d 100% have Morgan and your Rouen hen together, and the other 4 drakes together. They may not be mating with her now, but they will… and it will be ugly.

Maybe separate the 4 drakes into 2 & 2, so 3 groups of 2, if Abe continues to get picked on.

Send a photo / video of your Pekin for gender confirmation, if you’d like, but the other option is Morgan is just trying to dominate over him.

Thank you, I’ll definitely work on another coop divider.

This is my Pekin, Chelsea he doesn’t have much of a tail feather curl but one is a little lifted? Sounds like a drake, no honk.
