Houston, we may have a problem!

I think my 4 girls have all turned gay. This past week my beautiful sweet boy was killed by a hawk and now my girls, and yes, I know they are all girls, are head bobbing and mounting each other. Is this OK or do I need to actively search for a boy to service them?

I don't think another duck is needed, however, in spring, there always seem to be drakes in need of a home and it might be nice to give one a place to live out his days and his own flock to tend to.

My Runner females play at mating and their Runner drake is right in the pool with them. so far no one has been hurt. It's just normal behavior.

My Runner ducks play mate with their Runner drake right there. It's perfectly normal behavior I changed my wording in my other reply.

 

[DuckyDonna]

Yep totally normal - my girls really really love each other when they are swimming LOL!

haha, ok, mine really really love each other out of the pool too. I guess this is the least of my problems! Thanks everyone!

As others have already said, this is absolutely normal duck sexual behavior. It's just what ducks do. @MillersFarm , @Miss Lydia have nailed it.

 

[MillersFarm]

Ducks are very sexual. Hens will try and breed other hen, It's completely normal

but these are 2 girls!

I’m guessing what @Miss Lydia is saying that if drakes play mate, then hens play mate too. If drakes are more known to hurt each other, and, the 2 runners aren’t hurting each other, yours are probably not going to hurt each other. I would still watch them though.

Ha ha! I I have lesbian ducks too.
4 hens and 2 drakes and the girls still take turns mounting each other anyway.
