muscovy or not...

[duckduckgose]

hi, my moscovy duck larry just hatched out a couple of ducklings, but I'm not sure if they're hers or not. I've never seen moscovy ducklings before, are they diffrent? or are they just like normal ducklings? photos attached for reference, thanks in advance!

what other breeds do you have of hens and drakes? if they are muscovy they will be sterile

They are soooooo adorable!!! Thank you so much for posting photos of them, you really made my evening quite delightful. <3

I'm sorry I can't help with your actual question.

I am curious why they will be sterile ?

@Duck mommy 2019 I do have a moscovy drake (barry) but I have a lot of other duck breeds (kaki campbell, indian runner, buff orpington and mallard) but why would they be sterile?

It’s because they’re different species of ducks.

*Edited to add* I should have clarified....this is in reference to WHY they would be sterile.

muscovy aren’t ducks. so when they breed with a duck and produce a “mule” or “mulard”. the hens will lay eggs but can’t have ducklings of their own
