How to stop crossbreeding?

Jaidyn279 · Apr 7, 2020

Hey All,
I have 3 Silver appleyards ( 1 drake 2 ducks) and I am looking to expand my flock.
I was thinking about getting a few more Silver appleyards and around 5 khaki campbells. My main focus is breeding ducks and I dont really want any cross breeds but I dont know to stop it. I have 1 duck house, 1 Large caged area, I let the ducks free range the gardens aswell.
Any tips will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Only way is going to be to separate them from each other.

A drake / roo is going to jump on any bird that it can catch. I have a full size roo who jumps on my cornish hen. The only way to stop them is to separate them physically (aka fences / pens) *OR* Just don't introduce a second breed.

As mentioned above, you will get pure and mixed ducklings unless you separate them. That is the only way to ensure the males are only breeding the females you want them to.
