New drake

[tracy5409]

Hi...we have a male & female duck. We rescued a juvenile male duck. We would love to keep him. Should we get another female so the 2 males won't fight? We are currently keeping them separated in another yard. Our flock lives in 2 yards. Please help

2 drakes and one hen is not a good situation. Regardless of the number of females, there is a strong possibility that the drakes will fight.

I have 2 drakes with no fighting but that isn't always the norm. Get as many females as you can to keep the females from being over-mated and be ready to keep the 2 groups separated until late summer. I have to keep my Runner group separated from my Muscovy not because of fighting between the 2 drakes but because my Runner who has 9 females just can't leave the Muscovy females alone.
