I have a pair of Saxony and 2 female Rouen free rangeing together,the drake just wont leave them alone and the saxony female in particular is now very sore on her back could I put saddles on them ? I have kept ducks for many years but have never come across a drake like this , the rouens wont go in the stream as they are terrified of the rape and pillage going on !!

Hello, putting a saddle on a duck is not a very good idea- they will just try and pull it off- i would either separate the drake or get some more ducks- drakes can be very nasty at this time of year and it is obvious that he has taken a fancy to the saxony duck :shock:
