How many drakes?

[duggat]

Hi still sourcing information on keeping ducks.
As I am mainly wanting ducks for pets and not bothered about eggs; seemingly it seems to be that drakes are the least wanted in numbers for most duck keepers.
My question is how many drakes can be kept together and will they be happy without lady friends ?
I would be more than happy with only drakes if they would be content.
More questions to follow I expect!

What a lovely thing to do! Batchelor flocks can be kept harmoniously but all flocks sre different. Some may fight, rspecially if they perceive something to be female.... This could be you if you hand raise them! Siblings are least likely to fight. I havd some drakes that need a good home uf you want to rescue x
