My small flock is all girls and they do indeed "mate" with each other as soon as I fill up their swimming pool.

You don’t have to Incubate eggs nor do you have to let them sitI have a mixed flock of runners and am done with incubating! Three years was enough with ducklings.
I have 7 females and plan to sell my boys next week. Is there any benefit to keeping one male? The mellowest?
Thanks
That sounds great!You only need a male if you want to have fertile eggs . I have an all girl flock 13 girl ducks, and four of them are runners , all very happy. No need drake
I noticed when I didn't have a drake, the hens seemed to scattered around when free ranging.I have a mixed flock of runners and am done with incubating! Three years was enough with ducklings.

I raised my runner ducklings with 2 goslings this year. For the first time I have one young, 4 month old male goose that prefers the company of ducks instead of the 15 other geese. I keep the adult ducks separate from the adult geese because drakes try to attack everything. I figure if I only have females,I can merge the geese and female ducks.
When I removed the young drakes from the goose area last week Louie Goose was extremely upset and still yells for his buddies in the other pen!
Social issues among the flock members is always interesting. But, to see Louie running around playing duck games while all the other geese are sitting together acting normally was really humorous!
