New to BYC - no chickens yet - 4 ducks

[BlueBaby]

the two Drakes are best buddies. They are with each other all time time. Would it be wrong to separate them?!

I think that if they are breeding and you only have 2 females, they are not going to remain best buddies.

Yikes. I best separate and be on the safe side. I would hate for them to fight.

And if they do remain best buddies during breeding season, it's even worse on your females:

I started out just wanting two females so I did not have to deal
With this - ended up rescuing two more and well ... here I am.

Good graciousness that’s crazy. I am glad to report that hasn’t been happening (yet) but I am not going to take that chance. Separation is in process !!!
