Mandarin and Wood Duck Crosses

[suzysducks]

I've have both woodies and Mandarins in the same area with good breeding success and never had any hybrids.

Thanks for your reply. I was worried I wouldn't be able to have both. They are in the same genus aren't they? I am not good with genetics so this is a learning experience for me. Kramer

Mandarin ducks have a extra chromosome, I have two pr of mandarins, and two pair of wood ducks in the same pen, with no problems.

I and wondering the same thing as I have wood ducks and Mandarin ducks

I am hoping but they can stay together and not crossbreed but I have not gotten an answer from anyone that has both
