Violent Male Khaki Campbell

[Snuggiepug]

I'm new to raising ducks but I have been raising chickens for quite some time. I got three chicks from tractor supply (they don't tell you the gender). Two of my khaki campbells are males and one is female. They were all fine until they reached adulthood. One of my males had a yellow bill and keeps to himself and is very quiet. He never makes any advances towards my female. But my other male is a blue bill and he has gotten extremely violent constantly harassing my female and trying to breed with her. But he also attacks my other drake. He has now injured both my female and my yellow billed drake. I have to separate him from the others now because now my yellow bill drake walks with a very bad limp (he was being chased and tripped hurting it). Should I get rid of him? Or should I get more females. My yellow bill is very peaceful and gets along great with my female. But what am I going to do with my other drake?

Most likely your dominant drake who you have separated will want all the ducks for himself it's just the way it is, if given enough space 2 drakes can live together with females with out too much conflict but most of the time they need to be separated to minimize fighting .and to protect the girls if one or more are getting over bred. If you can keep them separate then get more females and give each drake an equal # at least 3 or more each..

I have 20 Khaki Campbell both male and female. They live peacefully together all the time. 1 KC male has enough energy to keep 5 to 8 females fertile. As long as you have 3 to each breeding age drake they will all live together fine. The drake who is dominant is showing the other one that he is boss. If you get at least 3 more females both drakes will be happy.

I Just purchased a new Peking Duck when I released her with my Khaki Campbells the 2 ducks were fine with the new girl but my Drake Khaki is being a big meany . He is constantly biting her neck and attempting to breed her . Is this typical behavior or should I be worried. I'm afraid he is going to hurt or kill her . Any and all advice would be most appreciated . Thank you .
