I have two call ducks who I got as ducklings this fall. They’ve turned out to both be male. They’re super adorable though! But, I have a female khaki Campbell and a male buff orptington. I know the ratio of three males to one female is not good.
But would having two male call ducks be ok? Or does size not matter and it would be bad for my female.
So far the male calls are bonded to each other… but I’m sure that could change in the spring.

This is my first year with ducks so im not a pro yet with behavior, etc! But I love to research and get other opinions.

The penciled is Pipsqueak. And the magpie was an Edna Mode (from the incredibles) , but is now an Edgar Mode.

This is before they molted into their more adult colors, the penciled definitely has the male penciled coloring now.
 
Speaking only from my own very limited experience so far (I got Calls this year) my three drakes don't seem interested at all in the Biggies, and not even that interested in the two Call females I have. They hang out together ignoring all the other ducks.
