I have ten female ducks. Different breeds. I have a male pekin now. He picks one each day and chases her around trying to mate. She runs away quacking. Should I rehome him or will be get less aggressive with the girls. I don't want him hurting the females
 
I have notice with the ducks I have they are very aggressive in their mating! If you have a pool or a pond make sure there is something in tit that the female can stand or lien on, if not they maybe able to drowned her. That's just from experience.
 
You need to watch him. Drakes seem most aggressive in the warmer months and may or may not settle down in autumn and winter. If he doesn't cool off, you may need to rehome him or have a time-out pen for him.
 
I have this same problem with my drake..
every time I let him out of the pen he chases the smallest duck of my flock around and tries to mate her...
I always end up chasing him down and picking him up to be put back in the pen..but he just isnt learnig!
