Mallard/Pekin Mix??

[fisherrr]

My dad and I thought we were buying fertile Pekin eggs to hatch, but we hatched 2 mallard hens and a mallard/pekin? drake, named Roo. We already have 2 Perkins and a Swedish blue. Roo is the one on the righ and his sisters(?) are named Drake and Josh. Roo now has a nice full green head and most of his butt is white, he can’t fly but his sisters can.

He's a very pretty boy! Definitely does look like a Pekin/Mallard mix to me. He seems to have gotten the Pekin size, which is why he can't fly. The 2 girls on the left there appear to be regular Mallards, and that would be the reason they can fly.

makes sense to me

 

[chickens really]

He is an Appleyard Drake. And the Hens appear to be Roeuns

 

[Table4Six]

He is a Silver Appleyard drake. The hens are much to small to be Rouens, they are grey mallards. Very pretty ducks.

Possibly but Appleyard are bigger than Rouen Ducks.

 

[Table4Six]

Appleyards may be slightly larger than Rouens, however both remain full size breeds. The ducks in question have a much larger size difference than a Rouen would, not to mention mallards have a much slimmer body with flight capability, whereas a Rouen would have a much bulkier, heavier body and stance.

Okay, your right......Two different types of Rouen Ducks.
I don't care..

 

[Table4Six]

Both are very different breeds.
