I know gender but what breed?

so I have 5 reddish hens that lay beige to dark brown eggs. I suspect that 4 of the 5 are production reds, if anyone has any idea please let me know!

Yup, they look like Production reds and the darker one maybe a hatchery quality Rhode Island Red.

I also agree.

P.s. the duck in the back appears to be a drake to me. If it is, it is very dangerous for your hens to be bred by him. they have a special part that roosters do not that can rupture your hens inside and kill her.

That has never happened also I thought that if she was a he, he would have a drake feather?

Also she quacks so loudly the neighbours can hear her a block away! Lol

Is it common for a duck to breed a chicken? A friend of mine has a drake mallard in with her hens! He's not old enough yet to be interested, but would like to pass on the info! Does it make difference if they have a female duck? She also has a rooster if that would make a difference...
