Very worried about possible sex ratio in rescue ducks

Bummer. Can you set up a separate pen area for the drakes? I am currently working on one for two drakes I just took in. My flock could happily handle one drake, but two not so much. A separate pen can help her through the breeding seasons

My main coop/run area has an isolation zone! It’s an 8x7 section of the run that my new additions are spending the nights in right now. I basically end up with three usable areas- the coop and two halves of the run. Plus the whole yard that the birds free range in during the day. I’m hoping with all those options we can manage

Sounds like you have a good setup. I hope it works out well with your drakes.

I hope so too… they’re such lovely boys! They’re still babies and so sweet, it’s so hard to imagine them being nasty big boy drakes.
