Will they hurt her??????

I have 3 ducks, one male Pekin and 2 Fawn and White Indian Runners... a male/female pair. This morning as I was filling up my poultry waterers, I noticed my two male ducks ganging up on my one female duck. They were all 3 in the duckie pool and the enormous Pekin was biting the back of my female's neck... AND holding her head under water. While this was going on, his buddy, the male Indian Runner was trying to "have his way" with the poor female. I was fearful they would drown her! I know I need to get a female Pekin for the big guy, but our farm store sells the ducklings unsexed...and I haven't been able to locate anyone that is selling a mature female Pekin duck. In the meantime, until I can locate more females... do I need to worry about her?
