Domestic and Wild

[Jonaboo 16]

Should I separate my wild ducks from my domestic ducks?

What breeds and species are you referring to?

 

[PetesMom]

Yeah a little more info would be good

 

[Jonaboo 16]

My wild ducks are mallards and my domestic ducks are WH, Rouen, Indian Runner, and Cayuga.

You bought Wild Mallards? Because that would be illegal without proper permitting. If you bought Mallards from a breeder or feed store then they are still domestic and can mix fine with other ducks

I didn't know that so I guess they are domestic. Well thanks anyway.

I think they will be fine. I kept my Mallards with my other ducks for awhile with no issues. You just need to watch that if any of your mallards are girls that they don't get over bred or possibly drowned by bigger ducks
