I have Rouen and Khaki Campbell's.  Yes they were all raised as babies together.  The banty roosters also tries to mate our blind duck.  This is very funny as he is very little and it looks like he is trying to ride a horse.  Sometimes she puts her head down and he goes flying right over her.  She seems fine with her unusual boyfriend, as he protects her and keeps track of her as she gets lost alot.

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.
