I happened to look outside and saw my male pekin standing ontop of a duck in some shallow water from my hose.

i assumed he was mating but the duck seemed a little dead looking i thought maybe a female died i ran outside and saw my male duck in the pond i thought he was dead and he was already in bad condition from male fighting.

but i saw him breathing so i picked him up and set him on the grass here is what he is doing.

i moved him to the shade in the second clip

sorry the videos are taking a long time

clips are out of order

i should also note that he has never been so tame as to not run from you.

back in his prime he would peck at you of you were holding a female and once i had to put him in my garage so i could do something in the yard and when i went to take him out he just let me pick him up which was a first time ever. but that could have been that he was alone and scared and didn't see any hope in running or maybe he deep down is sorta tame and only runs because the other ducks run

Drakes attempting to breed other drakes can result in drowning deaths. How many drakes do you have ?
well i sold a few recently so let me think.

2 pekins, 2 Rouens, 1 mix and then him who is also a rouen.

but the father pekin is the only one who doesn't like him and they have always had a rivalry

when i first got them the male who is now hurt was the original duck other than some mallards who flew away and then his wife who died so i got some pekins to keep him happy.
he attacked the pekin till his neck bled so i locked him up and within 3 days he no longer attacked him and they were friends but in the last few months he has been going down hill and i think the pekin realized he now gets to be the alpha? idk that's just i imagine. sometimes the pekins son will come over and shoo him away but mostly friendly other than the pekin
 
i dont want him to die since he is the duck im most attached with since he is the duck who started the family of ducks i have now and when you have more than 5 ducks they stop becoming special and more like clones.

but if he has no chance then i dont want him to suffer
