Will They Breed?

[ToniTaillefer]

I have a male pekin and a female black east indie, will they breed? Do you have any tips?

The pekin is a large breed duck and the easy indies is a bantam... I don't know if that would be the best idea to have them breed. He could hurt her bad or even kill her

thank you, I didn't know she was bantam, I am new to owning ducks.

I would be worried about them even trying to breed, a full grown pekin could weigh 3 times what a black east indies duck weighs, maybe even more. Are you in a position to house them separately? Im afraid they shouldn't even be together, my male mates 5 to 10 times a day with his girls, but they are all the same size as him, and two are bigger than him. He prefers the bigger girls
