ducks are maturing and found out I have 4 males to 4 females

[pjschubert]

I got my baby ducks June 1st 2015 and they are reaching maturity. I noticed when filling the pond the males are torturing each other and getting rough with the girls. I have never had ducks so all this is new to me. When I ordered these ducks they were supposed to be sexed and were not. Now noticing tail feathers turning up may have more males than 4 in next week or so. Will they be ok together or do I need to find them new homes? I hate to get rid of them as I have raised them from 5 days old. Also do they need ponds in the winter months or just enough water to drink and keep their beaks clean? I love my ducks but finding out I put a lot of time in cleaning them. Any answers would be appreciated.

If you wish, you may keep the males, but they have to be separate from the females so they won't fight over them. The males will be fine together when there are no females around.
Bathing water isn't an absolute necessity, so they're probably fine without it for winter, as long as they have enough water to dunk their head in.
