Mandarin Ducks - Need Help

[Duckbreeder2020]

I bought 3 pairs of juvenile Mandarin ducks. Will I have to separate them once they get older due to the breeding ratio?

I would. With that ratio you risk injuries and deaths to the females. Can you get more girls? Recommended 3-5 girls for each Drake. I actually have 9.5 girls for each of my drakes right now and I still worry about the two boys possibly ganging up on one girl causing accidental drowning.

thank you. At what age do you think I would have to start separating them because at the moment I only have one coop, but I can always buy another.
