Will 2 more females be sufficiant?

[teresa-78]

I have 6 runner ducks, I have had them since they were a day old... now it seems 4 are male and 2 are female... if I was to get 2 more females would this be ok??
I have heard that since they have been inseperable since they were a day old things should not get out of control!!!! is this true?? they seem to get on, with no problems at the minute, they are 12 weeks old.

Thanks peeps x

You really might want at least ten more females. What you may have with just two more hens is that the males will "gang rape" the females.

oh no.... I have no room for 10 females, even though I would love loads more, I may have to get rid of a few males,

thanks for your reply
