Muscovy drakes now breeding with my Pekin duck!

Crosses hatch at 28 days.

A pair of my Muscovy have moved into my Pekin pen and I have gotten some crosses. Right now I have 2 white ducklings with black head spots that hatched looking like Muscovy but at 3 weeks old 1 is twice the size of the other and is looking more Pekin-like in head shape and other features. They hatched at the same time but since I add eggs to the bator weekly either 28 days or 35 days would be possible.

Last year I have a wild Mallard move into the Pekin pen for the Summer (guess he figured free food, lots of hens, a win-win!) and I have a cool looking cross bred drake from that too.

You'll need to post pics, most crosses I have seen are really pretty.
