I've never done it, but around breeding season all the boys become pieces of shit.
I got several boys but even with enough girls for all of them, they are still horrible around breeding season to where I have a jail for boys who get too uppity.
Outside of breeding season they are great and I imagine you can do a bachelor flock just like chickens. But I genuinely don't know how they would act if I had only boys.
I always free range and I always make sure there are resources to where it can't be guarded. (multiple water sources, multiple food sources) and even then during breeding season I have a drake jail. They get very very narrow minded. You could kick them like a football and they would roll across the yard and get right back up tripping over themselves trying to kill whatever they focused on. It's genuinely kind of ridiculous.
I'd prepare for them to fight, I get nervous only having 2 incase something happens, cause then they lost everyone at once and are alone and that's no bueno.
But ultimately yes with conditions? But I say this having never done it. I could just have aggressive boys.
I had one named paper who didn't fight anyone and was super chill. He became a rape demon during breeding season and would get so rough he would bald the girls.
Drake jail :(.
(drake jail is a fenced area to where they can see and interact through a fence with the flock so they don't lose their standing, but it gives the girls a chance to stop looking over their shoulder).
Not gonna lie. I raise all kind of poultry and ducks are my least favorite attitude overall and cause the most problems beyond Guinea fowl (which I adore).
They tend to break your heart and be overly clingy when they are young and then super "don't you dare fucking touch me" me when they get older regardless of how much I imprint.
Sorry for the novel.
Tldr.
Yes
With conditions.
Make sure you have a way to seperate them
2 is OK, more is always better (flock, not pair).
