Newbie duck lover

[Thesilkclan]

Hi! Duck lover in western Washington. I have 4 females and by accident 3 very loved males. I am currently keeping them separated most of the time as the males are oversexed buttheads. I'm thinking of changing the name of Frank my male Pekin to chester the molester. The males were hatched in June of 2021 and the females hatched September 27th of 2021. Any suggestions on what I should do to keep my females safe but happy?

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Separate flocks may be the best way to go.

You can add more females to the flock which would be the best option. A 1:3 ration of male to female would be good. Or you could give away some of your drakes which would work too. You might need to keep them separated most of the time otherwise because drake's are like this most of the year.
