Cool! I don't think I've seen a black mallard. My kids have been obsessed with ninjas lately, so it seemed like the perfect name.

Well, he was just black instead of the normal yellow and black. He is a funny guy, loves the boys. Are BEI mallard sized, or smaller? They are beautiful with the iridescent green plumage.

I do believe BEIs to be about the size of call ducks. This is our 1st time with 1 so I'm so excited.

Thank you! I know the size difference is pretty funny, though is why I was worried about putting them together. The Pekin is 3 weeks old. When I looked at the hatchery site the feed store said the Pekin came from they advertised having Jumbo Pekins, so I'm wondering if that is what we got
