Swedish duck loving a RUnner Duck?

[Feather Lady]

This morning I caught Hansel the Swedish duck "wrestling" with Tulip an Indian runner. Are there any problems with this??

Hansel is probably bigger than Tulip, based on the breeds. But if Hansel is not too much bigger than Tulip, and he's not overly aggressive, there may not be a problem. I just get concerned about drakes that are too big and rough, since runners are a small breed.

How does Tulip seem to feel about it? If she's distressed, then Hansel needs a time out.

He is bigger, but she didn't seem to mind to much. I wonder what kind of weird babies they would make!

 

[Amiga]

He's handsome! I think I've seen Swedish crosses with white ducks (pekins) and they were cute as buttons! I think someone may have recently posted pictures of their mixes . . . .

As long as she's not suffering, why not? I reckon with multiple breeds you're not raising them for pure breed stock.
