I ordered baby ducks and geese (the company didn't sex them) last June. Seems like I have 2 male ganders, 2 drakes, and 2 ducks. My Pekin duck seems to wag her tail all the time and has been getting busy since the late summer. My other duck does not get any action (from what I have seen). Today I saw the gander mounting the Pekin. There was a huge ruckus about that action as hormones were flying. Ugh. Do I get a female goose for my ganders or do I just let things as they are? I just don't want my Pekin to get hurt from all the males and because I can't let them out until the pond melts they are all together in the pen. What would you suggest?
I would suggest 2 female geese, that way the 1 female goose wouldn't be bred so much [maybe] My goose mates with his mate a female Muscovy but they paired off when he became of age, she hatched him out,. But that is way too many boys for those poor girls.
I too would suggest getting female geese and separating the ganders from the ducks before the ducks are injured. 4 males (2 of them very large) breeding 2 ducks is a recipe for disaster.
