I have a pekin duck and a muscovy can they mate?

Posted on October 4, 2006

Question:
Hey ....i have a question about ducks, i have a pekin duck and a muscovy can they both have babies if the muscovy is the female , and the pekin is the male?

Answer:
Yes. Ducks can cross with other breeds. But instead of having babies they will lay an egg and it will hatch into a duckling! Sorry for that obvious correction. Sometimes the sizes of the breeds vary too greatly and would inhibit them from being able to breed. Good luck, Chuck
