    Pekin Duck Club!

    I have what I believe to be a drake, pekin. Wiggles has the drake curl. My question is, why are my male runner/khaki Campbell's mounting him in the pool. I have a female Rouen and she should be laying sometime this month I hope. Just wondering why my pekin is being mounted by my other two.
