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.
