Drakes getting aggressive

[Dynasty and Delta]

Hello BYC, I only have two drakes and no other ducks. I thought if you only had drakes with no hens present they would get along nicely. Well my two drakes last summer fought quite frequently and they are now starting to get aggressive towards each other again. One of them also tends to attack me, but I don't mind it too much. I don't want any of them getting hurt, but I can't get any hens for them as my parents won't allow it. I am at an utter loss. Is there anything I can do to stop or lower aggression before something serious could happen.

As they approach the breeding season, testosterone levels increase and so does aggression. The only surefire solution is separation.

Is it possible I put a barrier between the two of them while they are in the pen, but when free ranging should I keep them separate?

That's a judgement you would have to make based on how aggressive the fighting becomes.
