Two male ducks one beating the other

The crested Pekin I'd be worried about since there isn't skull under the crest and if they start grabbing onto it can seriously injure him. @thumper650 has dealt with only drake flock and maybe able to give advice on how to handle this, When I had 4 Muscovy drakes we built stalls inside our coop so the drakes wouldn't be beating each other up at night. They also had tops framed in wood with hard ware cloth. In the day time they had their own part of the fenced property to roam with their own females. I know this is a different scenario but at night when everyone is suppose to be sleeping the stalls worked out great to keep the peace.
I like the idea of separate stalls for drakes. I can't do that in my coop, but I can purchase a second dog crate and put it in the coop so that both the pekins can take shelter from the meanie muscovies!! The meanies are not going for the crested pekin's bouffant feathers! They are just jabbing at him wherever he settles and not letting him eat the food in the coop. I'll get a second dog crate tomorrow. Thanks for the advice
 
I have a dog crate in my coop for bully hens but right now my Runner female Runner
is sleeping in it because she laid down for the wrong bird my goose and got her face chewed on.
