outnumbered duck

[kwack]

Our eggs hatched in April and we ended up with FOUR drakes and ONE duck.... should I be worried about her?

If you only have those four ducks then I would separate the drakes and the pullet once they get a bit bigger. (pullet, is that right?) You can keep them together while they're little as far as I know, but once she starts laying I would separate them. We had a poor girl who got so beat up because all teh drakes wanted to breed with her.

If those are the only 5 ducks you have yes you will have to seperate them before breeding starts 4 drakes will kill 1 hen trying to breed with her!!
