duck mating

So, I have a drake (Cherry) and two hens (Caramel + Pitaya). When Cherry mates with my hens, he’s very quick about it. My hens do tail up, he does tail down, and it’s done. I’ve never seen him take longer than 10 seconds to mate. Occasionally, I’ll see Pitaya on top of Caramel trying to...

I have 2 drakes, Bumblebee and Honeybee. We hatched Bumblebee alone out of a egg, and then got Honeybee 6~ months later. Bumblebee keeps trying to mate with me and it’s frustrating. i heard its a lonely thing but for some reason Honeybee’s presence did not help. Females are not an option, and...

So i have three hens and two female ducks. Ever since i got my two ducks (around 3 months ago) they’ve tried to mate. We know for a fact that they’re both female and we figured they were doing it for domination but they never stopped. Today they were swimming in their pond and one persistently...

Hello! Last year we hatched ducks who are now a year old. We had 7, but two were taken by foxes last summer leaving us with only one female and four drakes over the winter. At first there was no issues, however since mating season has started the drakes have become so aggressive with mating her...

I’ve owned ducks for a few years and for some reason tonight I had the question on how many eggs are fertilized through one mating session. Google helped me come to the conclusion that typically the sperm will stay in hen for up to 14 days, so essentially a clutch of eggs is fertilized by the...

I’ve noticed some wild ducks landing in our creek with our domestic flock. They seem to get along and get closer than I thought they would have. My son wants them to breed our hens so we can have a wood duck mix. I told him probably unlikely but it sparked some curiosity. Has anyone had any...

Hi! Over the summer I hatched 3 Khaki Campbell Ducks and now that they are fully colored I can accurately say that I have one drake and two females. They are about 5 months old now and I have noticed that my one drake keeps mounting and grabbing the neck of the bigger female. When do ducks...

My two girls are 2 1/2 months and They've been spending a lot of time with my Drake but they have not shared the same space without a fence between them because I’m worried they’re still too young to mate. At what age can I let them freely share the same space with my 1 year old drake? The girls...

Hi friends, Hoping to glean from the experience of people here. I have 6 female ducks, 3 welsh harlequins and 3 pekins. Everytime they get into their wading pool, and sometimes even outside the pool, they display the desire to mate. At least I think that's what I am observing. They flatten...
