Should we rehome our drake?

[storiesandglass]

We have 11 ducks that are now around 13 weeks old. 9 of them are female Khaki Campbells and 2 of them are Pekins that were given to us. One of the Pekins has turned out to be a drake. Our goal with our flock is to have eggs upon eggs... but no more baby duckies. He's becoming aggressive and bossy with my other ducks and he's about twice the size of the khakis so I'm worried he's going to hurt them. Should we rehome him? If we keep him, how does that work... I'm new to this!! Thanks!

You can keep him, just collect the eggs daily. I have a female khaki, female Peking and a male khaki. I would like one more female, but he is good with the girls. They are the 3 amigos and ard always together.

Do you have a pool for them? That is where lots of the mating is done. My male has a hard time with the Peking, he ends up just staying put on top of her and she swims around with him.

Ducks are flock animals and get very depressed and lonely if alone. If you can rehome him to a good home that would be great.

You don't need a Drake..I would sell if I didn't breed.
