Keeping male ducks together

[Ducklingdaisyserr55]

Hi,
I have two almost month old runner ducks. I am possitive that one is a boy as it has started making the male duck sound and also I can definitely tell when i sexed him. My other one looks like a girl and has yet to quack but has started making broken squeek sounds, if they both turn out to be male I don't want to get rid of either of them so is there a way they can live together is a flock? I already have 2, 6 year old females who have free range of my garden (which is very large) during the day, would I need to get more females to get a better boy:girl ratio, if so how many?
Thank you x

I have two male ducks housed together with no females, they are fine.
The ratio is like 3-4 females per 1 male If I remember right. Females bring out the territorial instincts in males.

I have had two or three females for each male work out just fine.

Hello, it all depends on the Drakes. Breeding season can be horrid with two Drakes out with Hens..

I can attest to that, my boys must be seperated now, when not supervised. They're only a year old so I'm hoping they calm down in the fall and next year. Keeping them seperated kinda complicates their care, but we manage.

Crossing my fingers that one of my ducklings is female. May end up having to expand my flock to suite a better boy:girl ratio if not.

That's what duck math is all about
