Will my ducklings and cockerel get a long?

[CalliBee]

Hey y’all quick question
I have twelve, 8 week old pullets, and two, 8 week old Pekin’s(1 boy, 1 girl)
HOWEVER, one of my pullets is actually a cockerel. I’m excited because I’ve always wanted a roo! But my concern is, will he have a problem with my boy Pekin as he gets older? I’ve owned chickens but never ducks OR a rooster
They’ve been together since day one and get a long great. Obviously the chickens look up to the ducks Bc they’re so much bigger and respect them as being at the top of the pecking order, including the cockerel. But will that last? Will my boys not get along

My roosters and drake didn't really fight. My drake would chase the roos around if they got too close to his prized water bowl, but as long as you have enough space and they each have enough girls, they'll be fine.

I purchased 2 more females for my drake because I didn’t want him to mess with my hens, so I hope that’s enough?
1 drake, 3 ducks
1 rooster, 11 hens
All the same age(except for the 2 new ducklings which are 4 weeks old), all share the same run- they have separate coops
Think that’s enough room?

That sounds good.

Main concern for mixing ducks and chickens is that Drakes do not have compatible anatomy for a chicken hen and can injure them or kill them if they try to mate with chickens.

After I discovered that 1 of my 2 Pekin’s was a drake I was so worried about that!
I got my first 2 Pekin’s from TSC and they’re not sexed but I ordered online 2 sexed females so now he has 3 lovely ladies to be smitten with. Hopefully he’ll leave my chicks alone.
…
Right??

Hopefully.
Drakes are notorious for high sex drives so he may not be satisfied with only three girls. Time will tell. Keep a close eye on him.

If you ever see him trying to go after a chicken you need to separate him immediately. It's really a very serious thing if he tries to mate with the chicken. I've seen emergency threads in the help section on here where the chicken has prolapses from it.

Probably a dumb question but, will my rooster do any good at protecting the flock from the drake if he tries to mate with the hens?

It really depends on the personality of your rooster. They're all individuals so there's really no telling at this point.
