Uneven flock

[Mama Runner]

I have 2 Pekin Ducks one female and one male. I have 4 runners one female and 3 males. They are mating. I'm worried about my females and wondering if I should try and find more females.

A valid concern. 2 females to 4males is asking for trouble, in my opinion.

Definitely get more females (8-10 females)-(4 males) would be better,

Id get rid of three males.Four males and a small flock rarely works out.

Yes...one Male to two Hens in the least...and you would need to separate the two flocks...

Is there a respectable place to buy adult females? Or do I order female ducklings? I can't get rid of males, I am way to attached to them. Not to mention they are all just a tad spoiled rotten

Check Craigslist they always have some ducks for sale on there.Your going to need to buy a lot of females.Drakes are really harsh.

Mine are too.

Separate pens might work too..
