for a pet is it better to get one or two duckling?

I agree a male can wear a female out. We have one male for three females. My male and femal pekins are extremely loud, but we live in the country so we don't care. We have two female Ruens who are very quite and very friendly. I have learned from years of experience two males never live peacefully together and never let the males outnumber the girls.
