could be a cross mate indian runner /ailsbury/mallard ?

[SeanTheHawker]

theres one of two aylesburys i seen every now and again. but would they crossbreed in the wild?

[J Darcy]

shoot the fxcker so it doesnt breed withe the pure mallards and you will end up with a race of mongrels with white feathers and heads and suchlike.. :good:

most dommestic breeds are from the same original stock so cross breeding is a prob as with dogs. ;) differant speciese of duck can x breed but i think most r infertile like mules eg canery xs

They will still be fertile unless they cross with a muscovy which this aint I'd say it was a kahki campbell,orpington or runner cross.do what darcy says and get it shot before it starts tredding all the pure stuff
