large breed male mate small breed female

[Duck Dreamer]

Will a large breed drake harm a small breed female if they mate?

 

[Miss Lydia]

Possibility depends on weight of the male to the female. My Muscovy drake weighed around 15 lb and his females top out around 5 lb.

So male is a Rouen and female is Welsh Harlequin.

Going along according to my Muscovy I’d say the female WH could handle it and even more so if they have a pond or pool to help.

A rouen male and welsh harlequin female will be fine.
