Sometimes it's best to keep ducks and chickens separated. If you do end up with drakes when their hormones rage they will try breeding chicken hens. Drakes have a much different apparatus than roosters and can injure or even kill a hen chicken if they keep attempting to breed them. I have no idea how many girl ducks each drake needs to be satisfied. You can go to the "Other Backyard Poultry" forum above and post on the duck threads for more advice.
