    Different breed of mate for Aylesbury drake?

    Hello (new to raising ducks)

    Hi everyone, My wife and I were given 3 Aylesbury ducklings about 6 weeks ago and the whole family loves them. I've made them a house and a pen out of pallets and I'm in the midst of battling with a kiddie pool pond. I've come across BYC quite a few times recently when googling for information...
