I have 1.5 acres in South Florida with a small pond. I have had as many as eight ducks at a time (3 female and five male). Every time I have introduced new ducks into the company of the ones already there, there have been altercations. The one exception I've had was when I raised six from ducklings and configured their cage so that the two adults already there could see them every day through a wire screen. When I released them onto the property at about 15 weeks, they got along w/ the adults. The existing ducks (these are Rouen) also chase any wild ducks that land there.
They rubb their heads on other male or female ducks (depending on bi or straight)

Mallards are the most aggressive type of ducks out there. The males will chase away other males to keep the females for himself. female mallards will do a bit of fighting back witch excites the males.
Neither male ducks are called "drakes", female ducks are simply called "ducks"
Yes they are. They are needed to fertilise the egg.
