Rouen fights

[Kickinmini06]

I have 3 drakes and 1 hen that are 5 1/2 months old. I’ve had no problems until 3 days ago. My smallest drake (Memphis) attacked my biggest (King Louie) and apparently tried to drown him. I didn’t witness this, but my fiancé did. Since then King Louie keeps to himself but close by the others and if he gets close Memphis chases him away. I’ve never had ducks before, and I’m sure this is normal, but how long should this last? Will Memphis stop bullying King Louie? I’m desperately trying to find another adult hen or two. Any recommendations and suggestions are welcomed! Thank you!!!

3 males and 1 female? No. it will never work, either your hen will die of overmating or the drakes will drown eachother/chase one off.
You either need 9 hens or you need to get rid of 2 drakes.

Drakes are way to horny when females are around and sometimes when they are not. I agree, someone will end up drowning or getting seriously hurt. So I guess the answer is yes, this is normal for when you have too many males. You either need A LOT of females, get rid of 2 males. Or keep 2 males permanently penned up.

Hello..Young Drakes are terrible and fights will happen. Having a single Hen is terrible for her. It's recommended one Drake to 3 or 4 Hens. They will hurt her once breeding season starts and they mature. Drake fights are terrible to see..
