I have 4 welsh harlequin hens and 2 silver appleyard hens. I want a drake for the purpose of fertilizing eggs. I was worried about the sizing of the ducks. Is it hazardous to my ducks if I get a heavy breed? And if I get a light breed, will it be able to fertilize the silver appleyards? Would an indian runner work? Or a cayuga? I don’t have any medium breeds available in my area, but I could maybe wait for one to be available. I’d prefer a drake thats a different color from my ducks, but at the end of the day I mostly just want the eggs fertilized.
