Only having two ducks, can they both be male?

[tangyoriginal]

I currently have a 6wk old Swedish mix and was looking to getting a companion for him because I know it is best to have at least 2 ducks, not singular. I have not sexed him and there isn't a Drake feather yet but I believe quack wise that it will be a boy. There is a 3 week old duckling I am considering but they believe it will be a male also.

If there are no girls around to rile them up, is it okay to have two male ducks and no others?

It may or may not work for one thing introducing a 3 weeks old to a 6 weeks old is going to have to be slow and gentle. Big difference in size for 1.

I had 2 Drake Muscovy's when I started out they were best buds until I went and bought females. It all depends on the ducks and personalities. All you can do is try.

Hello....just try and see. Young Ducks get along great. Sexual maturity can differ with each personality.

Thank you everyone! I am going to meet the little one and see if I think his personality will mesh with all of ours. He's a little Ancona duckling.

Yeah, the Ancona breed are pretty and the ducklings are so cute and so different from our Swedish mix baby. I will hopefully going to get him tomorrow!
