Welcome to BYC, and have a 'Plan B' in mind in case the three drakes eventually present a problem.

 

[ducksinvt]

well, the 3 drakes are already presenting small issues, chase the girls away from the waterers, wake them up when they are napping, they remind me alot of teenage boys right now, just picking and prying to get a reaction, then they run off "laughing" bills open wide just chuckling away, they are separated except for when the are free ranging, which just started this week, is this behavior gunna get worse? I have already separated the permanent pen in 2 sections, ive been debating getting 3 more cayuga females, would this help balance things a little better???? I would hate to get rid of the drakes, because they are turning out to be gorgeous, but my females are priority, so whatever I have to do for them, will be done!!
