Be Cautious with Drakes (Male Ducks)

Solution

Monitor drakes closely for aggression towards chickens, especially hens, particularly during mating season.

Explanation

Drakes can be aggressive and may attempt to mate with chicken hens, which can cause serious injury or death to the hens due to anatomical differences. Maintaining a low ratio of drakes to ducks, or keeping drakes separate, may be necessary.

Notes

If aggression occurs, immediate separation is required.
