can a mallard duck breed with a gold star duck?

[yoshi xii]

I'm just wondering cause i didn't get any female mallard ducks but got some female gold star ducks

can they breed

I am no expert on ducks but I have a mallard/crested duck male and a female cuyaga duck and they were breeding daily until weather got cold. so I imagine if it quakes like a duck and looks like a duck they will breed LOL

Yes. Male ducks tend to mate with anything that moves and is remotely duck-shaped.

I don't think that the difference in breed will matter to your drake at all.

thank you i wasn't sure

oh and one question did they have any babies that you saw that looked kinda different

 

[Crazy4Chicks]

well mine have not hatched any babies yet I hope to have some little something or others waddling around the yard this spring.

good luck with your ducks

thanx let me know if your eggs hatch

 

[Crazy4Chicks]

believe me when they hatch eggs all of BYC will know about it LOL they are going to be the cuties little mutts
the daddy has the mallard coloring ( just started to get some green feathers on his neck) with a cute little pompom on his head, the momma is jet black - so I cant wait till spring.

I am wondering what kind of babies I am going to get from my mallard/crested ( male ) and my cayuga
I might end up with cayuga bodies with a crested head LOL
