Here's my mystery duck. She's from a rescue (who now knows I'm a sucker for abandoned domestic ducklings!) and I don't know the mix... She's quite small, although she's grown a little since she moved in

Did your mix bred turn out to be a male?? All our ducks that had the white ring turned into drakes

No, it's a she :3 she happened to lay her first egg today too!

I'm about to possibly have some. I thought I'd get 100% snowy mallards, but I just saw my buff drake having his way with one of my snowy girls, and even though he's my only non-snowy mallard drake, he's the alpha male.

One of my ameraucanas has been incubating the eggs thinking they were her own, and they're due to hatch any day. I'm not sure what to expect.

Three of my four have now hatched. They definitely don't look like full snowy mallard, so their dad is my buff drake. They're so cute!

 

[schatze]

Should they be looking like this?

The dad is a buff drake, and mom/s is/are snowy mallards. None of these really look like mom or dad as ducklings apart from Sterling (the smallest). Is this normal, or is it all a sort of crap shoot?

I currently don't have mixed breed but I did have a question. The mixed breeds do they still produce eggs? Are there pros and cons? I ask because I have 4 Rouen's and 1 Indian runner who currently is to young for me to tell the sex but was wondering if anyone has had Rouen's and runners mate?
