I don't suppose the confused drakes were raised with geese, and without adult ducks?

Are your ducks muscovies?  I have drakes (mallard, swedish, indian runner, cayuga) and have never had this problem although I did have one gander who tried to mate with my buff duck.

One thing I forgot to mention, if I had to go it over again, I would go with all female birds.  Come spring the drakes try to mate everything and everyone - including the geese.  The geese get very loud in their discussions of this.  The rooster and the drakes fight for flock leadership also.
