Thank you!

It would honestly be best to have at least min 3 females to each drake. Then there’s no guarantee they won’t fight but that can easily be rectified by separating during worse part of breeding season. I have to do it with my Muscovy drake and my gander and many others have to do it with their drakes .

Will this issues being 2 and 2?

i’ve heard they can rip out the girls feathers and even drown them if the drakes are aggressive

@Duck mommy 2019 great to hear it works for you. Hoping it works well with us. The smaller Ancona made the loud noise. So glad I have at least 2 girlsgirls. What are things I should look for, in a mean Drake? "He" has an attitude to us, but hangs with pack

chasing the girls, missing feathers on the girls, they try to stay away from him

i think i may get more girls in the spring, but only because my pekin drake is bigger than my girls (khaki and rouen)

Good idea!

Good idea!

i was thinking about putting my khaki drake and khaki hen together (+ adding another hen)

and then i was gonna put my rouen hen in with my pekin drake (+ add 2-3 more hens)

does that sound like it would work? i would also keep all the girls together at night and the boys seperate, and then have separation pens just in case

 

[Miss Lydia]

Sounds like a plan.

Ordered offline on Estes Hatchery. Awful experience.....The one that you are referencing is very mean. It bites and hisses, where as the others are very friendly. Not sure if that is the trait, but very unfriendly.

Part goose?

He looks like it def and he hisses
