Tell me about your good boys

My ducks are still young, 5 weeks, but the one I know is a drake because of his frog voice, Jeffrey, is the sweetest of my four ducks. He's very gentle and cuddly and he doesn't flail his legs when I pick him up like two of the girls do. He used to be the one that nibbled on me the most and I was concerned he might grow up to be aggressive and mean, but he's become very docile recently and when I put him in my lap he almost never wants to leave. He even nuzzles me with his head a little. I told myself I wasn't going to have a favorite duck, but... 💕
 
I have 3 drakes #1 is my Muscovy drake Opie he’s 9 yrs old hatched here, he was raised inside for his first 8 weeks because his mama wanted to kill him. He loves his 4 females even going inside the coop and laying with them as they lay their eggs. But he is not a protector my 2 Runner drakes can chase Opies girls down right in front of him and he just stands there. :hmm Number 2 is my Blk Runner drake Snoop he is 4 yrs old and he takes his responsibility very serious he always watches over his girls and isn’t too rough in his mating. Now # 3 is Peanut who is the son of Snoop he just turned a year old and pretty aggressive with his mating, him an Snoop both get the blast from the hose if they are getting to rough with their girls . All 3 boys do fine together which I am very thankful for.

do you think the hose tactic works on husbands? 😂
 
We currently have one young pair of Rouens. The boy, Jeremiah Puddleduck ❤, is very sweet with people, his girlfriend Polly, the two mystery sex goslings (1 African, 1 Embden), and the 11 young pullets (various breeds). He occasionally loses his mind in the pool and swims around at 100 mphs 🙄, but generally is very sweet.

I have a khaki Campbell drake called Megamind. He’s great with his ladies and the ducklings (it seems that he’s basically adopted them as his children lol) that we added last week. He’s also great at steering his girlfriend, Quackers, away from biting at the chicks when they come outside for a bit.

My drake is very sweet! He is named Chowder, and is always waddling up behind his fair lady. He often gets very few treats from me, allowing my hen to eat most of the grapes, peas, etc. and scooping up the pieces that are flung from the frenzy of the hen eating. He also cleans up very nice, with a bow tie and everything..!
