I have 3 blue runners (all female) all 12 weeks old. And I have 4 khaki Campbell's (2 are drakes) all 21 weeks old. I've noticed the males hopping on the younger runners recently and it doeany seem so good. They are way too young for egg laying. Is this going to hurt them? Will the males drown my little ducks? I've never had ducks before this.

I would definitely separate them. The drakes may not be trying to breed with the females but maybe just trying to insert dominance. Nevertheless separate them, they could get seriously hurt!:/

What Julianna123 said with emphasis!!! They are, first of all, way too young to breed and the size difference can result in them being seriously hurt or killed.
