Many types of fowl aren't monogamous, and males often claim several females. Another thing possibly at play is a dominance/ pecking order type issue. These behaviors, just like in humans, usually begin to rear their ugly heads, at the onset of puberty. Maybe allowing the muskovy their freedom will help. We ended up with 3 male muskovy, and no females. These boys have no interest in any sort of permanent shelter, much preferring to find their own, wherever they may be, and have not once demanded the attentions of our Rouen females, much less the chickens - thankfully.
