Sweet drake suddenly harassing all the females. Do I need to rehome him?

Thank you everyone for your comments, you’ve definitely enlightened me.
I thought long and hard about which ducks I liked most, and eventually realized I liked my boys more. A friend of a friend swung by our place and picked up all 5 of our girls, who are now in a home with 6 other girls and only 1 boy! Lucky drake.
Our drakes took it hard at first, running around, searching for their girlfriends, but they seem to be okay now. All the boys have been hanging out together. The best part: Little to no fighting!
I know I kind of did the opposite of what was suggested, but it seems to have worked out all right. I think I’m going to turn our property into a drake sanctuary!

Glad to hear things are better, yes it is tough to make those hard decisions but sounds like you have done the right thing for you and your feathered friends hope everything stays peaceful on your DRAKE SANCTUARY.

Good for you keeping the drakes!!!!

I have an all male flock of ducks -- rescues and rehomes. They do have changing alliances but basically all is well with my boys. Three of them have known eachother since they were about 8 weeks old and a recent rehome has fitted in well.

I feel sure your boys will live long and happy lives!!

That's awesome! Congrats on your all drake flock and that they have settled in nicely after the adjustment!

Please keep an eye on your drakes though during mating season. My one large Muscovy Drake was actually trying to mate my Rouen/Mallard Drake which was smaller and broke all of his wing feathers off before I caught him at it. I rehomed the huge one and the other one is much happier now. I never knew they would do that but mine surely did when they were in Drake Jail which was a large pen together for over mating my females last Summer.
