I think my duck is hurting my hens

[Bluechick2u]

I got a rooster from a neighbor who was tired of the rooster constantly breeding his ducks, (named DF, you can guess what it stands for) but none of his drakes bothered the hens, so I'm wondering if it's a matter of having females of their own kind available? Or not, as I assume is the case with the boot, deaf dog and mudflap issue?

Should I bring another duck into the equation? Will it stop?

A drake needs at least 3-4 ducks to keep him happy. I have 2 drakes both have females and they never bother my chickens other than to grab some feathers if they get in his space. My Muscovy drake has 4 females my Runner has 7. The more the better.

Well I have decided that drake sounds like a good meal.
