Hormonal Drake

[Magnolia Ducks]

Say that to my "ducklings"… 2½ months old and the girls try to seduce the older drake Limpy and the drake"ling" tries to hook up with one of the older girls, Nona.
Spring time, definitely!

Is Limpy still reluctant? George would have a go at my Wellies I think.

Is Boris still scared of George even though he is much larger than George ? What would happen if you let George run with the geese? It still gives Mini no time with him though.

Ha. Boris would be terrified and get tangled in the netting. Poor George, he just wants some lovin.

The duck"lings" have flattened out in front of him in the grass and my guess is that his leg hurts when doing it on land, in the pool he's causing tsunamis!
Of course the Buff's were first…

I have not seen my ducklings flatten yet. If they were I would put him in as a 6 to 1 ratio would be ok. He is very gentle with Mini but she makes it clear on consent. I guess her time bonded with the previous gander makes her fearless. My black Swedish is the pushy one in the new group.

My geese aren’t separate from my ducks and chickens except at night my gander and drake get into this time of year but still have learned to live together they have a little over half acre to run around on its mainly when they get too close that trouble can start. If one of my ducks would get into the pool and the gander was in there he would mate with her if given the chance but he rarely has the chance the ducks have learned to stay out of the pool. If the gander is around. My geese chickens and ducks have all been together since each one hatched and are actually one big family.

I am sorry George is still causing problems. I still need to rehome Mocha but the wife wont let me.

Does anyone know if drakes calm down any in their second spring ?

No they become more hormonal the next season..

Mine seem a little better this spring, which is their third.

I think it depends on the breed and drake.
