Right duck breeds with big ducks?

[Duck_life]

Definitely no Calls or East Indies. Too small for huge Drakes. Unless you plan on separating and having more pens. Also Silkies will need a separated house and pen too.

Thank you! (i am planning on making the chickens their own run) i would also like to know if you could put RIR with silkies because my boyfriend wants RIR's for eggs 5 at most and i want to be able to keep the chickens all together? also any suggestions for ducks?

Muscovies will eat and take over.
They will breed to pekins and produce mules.
A water source to breed in prevents injury. Most people do not know that they should be breeding in water not on ground. Even a baby pool filled will be enough. And a lot also don’t understand that they also need water to swallow.

TSC can order for u anytime, and u pick up at store.

I definitely would not house RIR with Silkies. An aggressive breed with extremely Docile chickens doesn't work. Plus the different feathers..
Ducks I'd get a lighter breed..None of the huge or tiny..
