Can I house a rooster and two drakes together with no hens?

I had two roosters in a coop that were getting along fine until last week when I had to temporarily remove one to heal a foot problem he has. Now they will not get along at all and I don't have an ideal place to put my other rooster except for my duck pen, where my two drakes live. These guys have been around each other free ranging before and have never heeded each other. One of my ducks is a little saucy-- he'll charge at anything that isn't the other drake, but he's a wimp and backs off before he gets close enough to touch.

It's close to nighttime now and I've put them all in the pen-- the rooster is up on a roost and the ducks are just chilling out. Everything seems completely fine now.

Has anyone had any experience housing drakes and roosters together?
 
My Muscovy drake sleeps in the same coop as my 3 rooster and they all do fine roos roosting drake on the floor in the shavings. Just keep an eye of them during the day time in case someone gets randy.
 
The reason to keep an eye on things at least your roos can get up on roosts away from them. Or split your run you have them in so drakes have one side roos the other.
