Drake to duck ratio

[JoJoM]

I have 7 ducklings, 6 weeks old. I have no clue on their gender but should know in the next few weeks.

My question - what ratio of drakes to ducks is best? I love them all and want to keep them, but is that realistic? I have a feeling (based on uneducated guesses and quacks) that it’s a 4-3 duck to drake.

Pic because ducks are awesome.

two of my boys are fine with just each other, no girls. my other boy is fine with two girls. all depends on individual drake

I don’t have experience so I can’t offer much. Like PP said, I think it depends on the drake. I’ve read some places suggest 1:1 and then I’ve read where 1 drake needs 2-3 or more hens.
We have 6 10 week old ducks and I’m still not sure on 3 of them (I think it’s really me just holding out that they’re late quackery ) from the get go we said we’d rehome any drakes, but as you know it’s easy to get attached. I don’t want to rehome until I know for sure that they need to be. And I’m also thinking maybe we can keep 1-2 if they’re drakes. Just depends on temperament. For the most part they have not tried to really go near the chickens and that was a big concern of mine keeping drakes. But if the 3 I’m questioning are drakes they are much bigger than the other 3 so that is a concern as well. Best of luck!
