Keeping ducks

My mallard is smaller than my peckin amd about the same size as my harlequin


Oh yep, its a Mallard most likely then... A Rouen would be a big fatty as big as the Pekin... I asked because a lot if times the 2 breeds are confused for each other, and mallards are a bit more skittish and will fly away to breed... We clip breeders so they stay, but the rest come and go... Sometimes they don't come back :(

Mostly hunters... We started with 17 this spring, now down to 3 breeders for next year; and sometimes extras if they bring back a mate ;)

With only one, you might not need to worry about clipping, but just keep an eye out, if he starts to launch and get good air, get them clipped or he'll bail ;)
