Thanks so much for your reply.
If I am understanding this correctly the muscovey's and the mallard can breed together??? But they might not be fertile so they possibly wouldn't be able to have offsprings of their own. With the ducks if you have too many males they won't fight amongst...
Thanks ahead of time to anyone who can help me with these questions.

Can we eat the eggs of these types of ducks? Even if they are fertilized?
Can we keep...

Let me make sure I am understanding this..... So I shouldn't house no more then two rooster's per coop. It wouldn't be a good idea to split the rooster 3 in one coop and 4 in another and get the appropriate number of hens to each rooster. So if I have a third coop would this be better...

Hi All,

This is an older pic. So what should I look for in the tail. Thanks again for your response. The other RIR that I got with him is looking a roo, way bigger and redder comb and the tail feathers are bluish in color and starting to go up and curl down. This one is still a flat bushiest tail.
Hi Everyone?
I have this RIR that I always thought was a hen because the RIR I have has a much bigger and redder comb and they are the exact same age, 4 months. Okay the other day I was outside with my flock and noticed my nice sweet little innocent girl, lol was mounting one of my older EE...
