I forget all the questions I was supposed to answer. I have a half-dozen male ducks, all under a year old. I got them about two months ago. People ask me why. I say I got tired of not having ducks. It's the truth.

One is a Jumbo Pekin. Had no idea how big they actually are until I went to pick him up from the breeder.

Three are Call ducks.

The other two are Indian runners.

They have been living in a large pen with daily run-around time. We're on the edge of a marsh, but it's fenced off and they're not ready to go out there yet.

This was all working out better than I had any right to expect. Suddenly, about two weeks ago, it descended into anarchy. I decided I needed some sound advice.

I agree with @sourland. Drakes can be the very best of friends. Until they aren't. They will tear each other to pieces. I've experienced this a couple times myself. I've had them kill hens (even with a 2 drake to 11 hen ratio) and just about kill each other several times. I'm over drakes. They're just jerks.
