Help my rooster is trying to mate with my ducks

My rooster still mates my ducks

Mounting is not always for fertiliztion, could just be a dominance move.

Ok I was thinking that too. Thank you!!

I think it's because the ducks are sexually matured and the hens aren't so he mates with them instead.

Chickens aren't the brightest animals so that's another reason too.

So how would you explain if the rooster were to be doing it even with sexually matured hens around.
