I have a quick question I have had 4 of my ducks since may but 3 are male and 1 female. I have 13 all together and discovered I have 6 males in total and 7 females. I have had to keep the older drakes separate from the females for several months now when locked up. Tomorrow I am selling all of my drakes but considering keep one. My three grown are a mallard drake, saxony drake, and appleyard mix drake. The one hen that’s been with them since hatched is very attached to them so I’m afraid if I get rid of all of them that could alter her egg production or could she decline in health? I would still have to keep the one drake separate until all the females are egg laying age since all but two are around 14 weeks.
So question is should I keep one of the males for her or would she eventually be fine with her new flock?
