So my original three ducks (the quack pack) are my Pekin hen, blue Swedish hen, and Muscovy drake.
I hatched 7 ducklings between them last season. I have since moved and rehomed 6 of those now grown ducks. I got left with a drake because I he flew away while I was duck catching for the move and when I finally caught him upon return the new home did not want another duck. Soooo now it’s like the quack pack hates him. They’ve ostracized him and my Muscovy attacks him, pushes him away from food, and obviously protects his girls. I have been looking for a suitable home but to no avail. Now yesterday I caught the single son mating my blue Swedish! Who is more than 50% his mom. Guh. I heard mules don’t actually produce offspring but is this certain? I don’t want an inbred line of ducks and I planned to take any of the ducklings (we have three nests) to our local feed store. I cannot in good conscience give them lame ducks.
So sorry for the novel any experience would be greatly appreciated!
Also anyone need a blue Swedish/Muscovy drake? LOL
