As long as there is no girls you should be OK. They shouldnt fight and they probably were raised together which is even better. Yea they can be together but of course its better to have them in seperate pens. They are messy but you will love em.

I have two drakes, raised together, living with my four chickens. The two ducks keep to themselves, they do fight but the dust settles. One of the ducks has established dominance and my other duck is missing feathers on the back of his neck. They try and mate as they would with a female duck, with one another. You can't change nature.2 drakes can be great buds, unless you add in females then the fighting will start. But if you plan to just keep these two bachelors they should be just fine.
I would recomend not putting them with your hens since they might try to mate them (which will kill them). Plus ducks are so messy with there water! They need to be able to have deep enough water to get there entire head into. It also is nice to give them a kiddie pool/pond, not just for their enjoyment but its very pleasurable to watch them youself an there excitment of the pool
Have fun!
Thanks for the info so I guess I’ll wait and see if it lays any eggs. Meantime I think it’s kind of lonely hanging out with the chickens. When the chickens go to roost in the evening the duck kind of wanders around takes a while to settle down. It quaks - somewhat quietly. I think it’s a girl. I’ll wait a few weeks to see if there’s any signs of the mail and then get myself another girl so she won’t be so lonely and we’ll get eggs.Don't trust a vet to tell you, as did I. The duck he said was a female turned out (ay 4 months) to be another drake. As sibling to my large drake I assumed he was right because that duck was smaller and did not hiss (or show aggression) as did the drake. The tails looked very different as well. Also didn't progress (caruncles, wing and feather acquisition, & flying) as did the obvious drake. That said even with 2 ducks sometimes it is not so obvious!
OK I’ll try to get that listenA video of said duck along with its voice will sure help.
