Two drakes per duck?

Do you think adding two more drakes would be a problem?

Yes.

Maybe if you kept them separate with fencing in between they may get use to 2 new drakes but at the age they are they will look at 2 new younger drakes as fair game and I don't see it working out in the new ones favor. How old are your drakes? If it was me I'd leave well enough alone, if they are all getting along adding 2 more might upset things too much. Although if you want to add more drakes have 2 separate pens side by side and when fall gets here and hormones are leveling off try putting them together from fall on then next year they would all be use to living together and maybe no one would get picked on. Just really hard to say with drakes how they will act towards one another.

The drakes i have now are between 17 weeks and 20 weeks

Okay so hormones are beginning to flow, I don't think I would add 2 new ones to existing flock with out a barrier especially if your going to get young drakes, but having 2 pens so all the drakes can live side by side would be fine and then they can all get use to each other.
