Ducks

[Skeeters Mom]

I have a white Pekin male and he is my only male that seems fertile. Can he be bred with my Sweds and Crested without hurting them, since he is so much bigger? I have a blue swed male, but he doesn't seem to be fertile when he mates with my crested. She is the only one laying eggs right now and the black swed females are not laying and they are the same age. When will they start laying?

Welcome to BYC! Glad you decided to join our flock. I'm a chicken person and don't know much about ducks (although I've had a few), but I have to admit that ducklings are the ultimate in cute. You should post on our duck section at https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks and take advantage of our duck experts there. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have. We are here to help in any way we can. Good luck in getting your duck eggs.

I have never had those breeds, but I have muscovys, and my drake (who is about double the size of my hens) breeds them with out problem.
