I know males can be merciless. Been through it, but females can also be demonstrated. You just have to keep an eye on everybody, & separate the trouble makers. Mating season is an every year experience.Oh, interesting! We have the exact same scenario! We took in a pair of Pekins someone had brought home for their kids and then abandoned within the first week when (big surprise!) their kids didn’t take care of them
Turns out we have one hen & one drake, so we will need some more ladies to keep our drake occupied. I’d love Cayugas, but I’m concerned about the size difference. Maybe Silver Appleyards would be better? I don’t want him to hurt a smaller hen! We’d be getting the ducklings from Metzer, as well.
We’ve kept chickens for 10+ years now, but these are our first ducks. We’re semi-suburban so we’ve only ever had female birds. Not sure what to expect.
