Presently after harvesting some of my drakes I have three males (one Pekin/two Saxony) and two females, ones of each breed mentioned. I had intentions to have more girls but wasn’t able to get any more of either breed. I’ve noticed the male Pekin being aggressive with the other males and sometimes even female Saxony. I could of course separate him but wondered how few females I could get away with having to curb this behavior and keep the girls safe?
I have 7 laying chickens now as well and it’s just my wife and I so I don’t need a ton more eggs. If I had 2 females for each of my 3 drakes would that do it? I’ve seen 4/1 ratio suggestions before but that would be a lot of ducks and eggs that right now I didn’t need lol. Appreciate any feedback
