Flock dynamics question

[thumper650]

Hi everyone!
I have 2 flocks, my famous wonderful 4 boys in one, and a backwards trio of 2 drakes and one hen. The Pekin drake Marco, is partially blind. The other drake, Polo, is a mallard. The hen, Ruby is kahki Campbell. They don’t over mate her, and she has a shelf that she hangs out in to get away from the blind but very amorous Pekin.
My question is, if I were to add another hen to this group, would that cause problems. They’re pretty harmonious right now, but I want to hatch an egg or 2 in the future.

That adding a new hen probably won't cause problems.
How big of a flock are you talking about? For a perfect flock,
In my opinion, is 6 hens and 1-2 Drake's. I honestly would get 3 more hens if you can because adding a hen is a 50/50 chance something good or bad will happen. If you have more then 2 hens they wont necessarily care or notice if another male is mating with another female that he supposedly likes lol.
I wish you the best for you and your flock and bless that blind Pekins heart

Any extra hens would help if you're hoping to get some eggs. When you first bring her (or them ) home just set them up in a see, no touch area and see how it goes. Sometimes they take right to each other, hopefully that would be the case!
