SUPER ODD QUESTIONS - Mating

[DuckyBabies]

Just watch her for overmating. First sign is usually neck or head feathers pulled out. If you see that you will need to separate them for a while to give her a break. Not all drakes are evil, hope you're is a gentleman. Now I ask the obligatory BYC question. Have you thought about getting more hens? 2 or 3 more would even the odds a bit.

Agree 100%. My drake would always mate my hen once in the morning, and then one day he discovered he could do it more and he began to over-mate her. On the other hand, hopefully your drake figures out soon what her flirting means

Multiple times a day. As many times as he can catch her. Ducks are very sexual beings. Even one more would help. If you have a crazy drake it will mate everthing. Chickens, geese, rubber boots. I don't want to scare you as they are not all that way. I had one that was quite kind to his girl and took no for an answer from her so I could keep the two together with no problem. But Katie bar the door if he got out with the rest of the flock. He would chase down and mount the 20 lb goose as she screamed in terror. (I was laughing so hard it took me a little while to rescue her). There is no way to know till it happens. So don't worry now. If you start to have problems just come back here and the community will help with your circumstances.

Do you have chickens? Do not let a drake be around chickens. When he tries to mate one it will kill her.
