Gender ratio help?

[Luminide]

I've known the sex of my older ducks for a few weeks now, but only just determined my ducklings today. Some advice would be appreciated...I'm a little concerned. Here's what I have:

Female
______
Jill (Pekin)
Tiffany (Pekin)
Stacy (Pekin)
*Nugget (Appleyard/Harlequin cross)
Flan (Blue Swedish cross duckling)
Abba (Muscovy duckling)
Sam (Muscovy duckling)


Male
____
Jordan (BIG Pekin)
Eric (Pekin)
Roberto (Pekin)
Brulee (Blue Swedish cross duckling)
Mallow (Crested Blue Swedish cross duckling)
Pepito (Muscovy duckling)
Castiel (Muscovy duckling)


Half and half, and with some big boys. I've read that an idea ratio is something like 1 male to every 3 females, but is there any way what I have could work? I'm mainly concerned about Nugget, she's the size of a mallard while everyone else is nearly double her mass.

My boys seem gentle enough...Jordan will follow you like a puppy, and it's mostly the girls who pick on the younger ducks...but is that going to change when my girls start laying? They're set to do so any day now. Are my males going to become terrorizing and hormonal?

How old are your drakes? The hormones on drakes is usually off the wall especially when they first come of age, so closely watching to make sure none of the girls gets to much attention will help alleviate a lot of problems, You may have to make some tough decisions eventually but I wouldn't start off that way, watch which drakes are the worst then deiced if you want to separate or rehome.
