Not sure if I should be concerned

I am new to ducks and have 2 male Khaki Campbell’s and 2 female hybrid 300 layers. We got them together without knowing for sure what sexes we had for the khakis but it turned out to be 2 males . The 4 were raised together since ducklings and are about 3.5 months old . They have always gotten along and pal around together. We also got 2 pekin duckings 6 wks ago. ( don’t know what sex they are yet) Although they are kept in same area as the others, my older 4 do not live in same duck house with the pekin and are often not very kind to them - but for the most part they leave each other alone. Today we noticed that one of the male Khakis has started bullying the other Khaki. Is this something that will subside once they establish who is the more dominate male ? Thank you for any info !

Yes it very well could be they are becoming territorial and fighting for overall leader. I dont have ducks but my two cockerels started doing that and they fight often now but are nice sometimes and stay together.

This is not a good Drake to Hen ratio. Your girls may get over mated once the Drakes are mature. Think about getting more girls. Duck math!
