What other ducks can successfully mate with a welsh harlequin?

[nayeli]

I heard that if you breed the wrong type of ducks together that you will get a mule duck or a sterile duck. I'm wondering what other duck can successfully breed with a male welsh harlequin drake.

Anyone have any idea?

all other mallard derived ducks. thats just about every domestic duck except muscovy

Thank you. I will have to see what options there are in my area. What are the best meat ducks?

 

[maxpedley]

ayelsbury, pekin. muscovys are great meat ducks especially if you ross them with pekins or ayelsburys however the offspring will be infertile. You can also get pekin based hybrids which are good meat ducks

Sorry Max, I did not notice the name. My mistake.

Do Pekin/muscovy crosses quack like pekins do or stay quiet like muscovies?
