A cross?!

Is it possible for a Female pekin duck to be bred with a male mallard duck and get a cross??

I would imagine so Snaphappii, ducks aren't fussy

Imagine the logistics might be a little difficult if the size difference is too great. Without being too crude, would he be able to reach?

Yeah.. The female duck sometimes lays down I guess. Anyways. I have proof. I took 3 more eggs out of the Pekin duck's nest [good reason, I dont want them ALL to be untamed, plus I dont want the population to to be big] And they hatched... and 1 had mallard coloring but it was alot bigger :shock:

He's really cool looking, and definitaly a keeper!! lol The other 2 are normal, yellow pekin ducks .

There's definitely a bit of duck theme going on at the moment, isn't there? At this rate we'll need a new forum - The Duck Pond, maybe

Haha just maybe!

Anyways.. Pix!

These are my older Pekin Ducks that hatched May 23 and 24th. They were playing by the hose :roll:

Looks like a normal Pekin egg.. right???

Well.. It isn't!! haha. Here is the cross.

And here are my chicks that hatched about a week, week 1/2 ago.

Soooooo cute, I used to keep ducks in a suburban garden so it seems a bit mad that I don't have any now I live in the country..............do you think OH would notice, I tell him they are strange new chickens

Yep, this is definitely helping ... OH is sitting next to me going 'Aaaaah' ...
