That is a question that only a female duck can answer. How does any female chose her male after all. You will get a hint because the female will "court" the male by bobbing her head. Yes, the all seem to do that a lot...little tramps that they are.How do they choose the male?

Watch them. If the drake tries to mount the hens (chickens) you will want to move the ducks into their own area. Chicken anatomy is not the same as duck and they are not designed to actually be penetrated. Mating with a duck an seriously injure and/or kill your chickens.well thanks everyone I'm now happy that my little 2 year old is not gonna coming running in from the garden with a great dong saying mummy whats this ( I breathe a sigh of relief ahhh ) I shall enjoy the antics that happen in the forth coming months
Just one more question are my hens as in the chickens going to be safe from the Randy drake or will I have to put pants on em lol
I have one drake in with 21 laying hens and he never has shown any interest. He has his three lady ducks and that is fine with him. However, I have seen discussion here on BYC that is just the opposite and dealing with injury to hens. So, watch closely. His lady ducks may be enough for him. Be prepared to get him out of there if necessary though.Thanks I will keep an eye is it very likely he might???![]()
