HI newbie welcombe to the site No you do not need a Drake the duck will still lay eggs as the hen will you only need the mail if you want to breed in the hens case the Rooster will keep law and order and thats not a bad thing as for the food you can buy a ration that is pre mixed for you most are fine I have my own grain so i mix most of my own to an old style mixing that seems to work very well for my lot what ever you choose keep the green stuff up to them all the scraps you have they will eat and you will get better eggs for it good luck Trev
