Drakes are too rough

I think because we have domestic ducks in somewhat of a confined area (whether free ranged or not we still provide the environment), then we are in charge of their care and well-being since they cannot react as wild ducks would in a natural habitat (i.e. no real places to run away from drakes who are overly stimulated or a bad drake to hen ratio). As well, wild ducks can fly, so I imagine females can dodge a male pursuit much more easily.
We are the caretaker and so we should provide the best care possible. If the actions of one animal is causing continued stress to another animal, then it is probably in the best interest to step in and take care of the situation especially since our domestic duck set up is an artificial habitat and not a natural habitat which wild ducks live in. We can also unintentionally set up a bad environment (not enough room, poor drake to hen ratio, not providing adequate needs) which would add to any stressors the animals would have.

So if I have five drakes and three ducks. Cayuga drake and duck. Created drake and duck. And a Swedish blue duck. And three Rouen drakes. Would getting rid of the Rouen drakes be better they are the ones tag teaming.

Honestly you should have 1 drake to the 3 hens. It might even be better to get more hens for the 1 drake. If you want to keep two drakes, you should have at least 6 hens or a better ratio would be 8 or more hens.
I would start with getting rid of the rouen drakes since they are causing the most stress and go from there.
