hi i have 2 young saxony hens 2-3 months and was thinking of adding a pair (male and female) or two the options are silver appleyard or buff orpington (laying) thanks for any help
Muscovy ducks are different. Because ducks don't care what they mate with, you can only have 1 drake per 4-5 hens for all species- Muscovy or mallard-derived. Also, if a Muscovy mates with a Mallard-derived duck breed, they produce a sterile (can't reproduce, ever) breed called a "mule" duck- which are good only for meat, as they don't lay much, if any, eggs.
