So I now have 8 ducks. 3 drakes and 5 hens. I figure my flock can only handle 2 drakes at the most so I need to cull one. My question is which one. 2 of my drakes are the same size and one is a bit smaller. Should I cull one of the larger drakes hoping that a large and small drake will have an obvious pecking order. Or should I cull the small one and see what the 2 larger drakes do? They are all 3 golden-300. I bought 4 of them and 3 are dudes.
 
Are any of them overly aggressive breeders? Overly aggressive to each other or other birds? Those are always the first ones to go. Since your not breeding for a standard I wouldn't base my decision on size.

Guess I thought that if there was a size difference there wouldn't be too much fighting among the remaining drakes.
As of yet they're not of breeding age so I haven't seen aggression from anyone. I suppose I could wait and see who is more aggressive and kill that one. I was just hoping to get it over with while my resolve is still firm.
