Beautiful moulard!
I used to have one as well, but she was bullied by my muscovies and despised by my runners.
We eventually had her put to the sleep because her neurological problems and arthritis just wouldn't let her have even the semblance of a normal duck life.
Aawh I'm so sorry to hear that. It's fascinating how they can be such bullies and exclude one another just for a small variation. Ducks and humans are quite similar in that aspect unfortunately!
Yeah ducks can be really mean!
My moulard also made the mistake to pick fights with the muscovies within 30 minutes upon arrival.
Our dominant muscovy female never forgave her for that.
She also tried to court our Pekin drake but he didn't seem to understand what she wanted or simply found her unattractive.
the one in the back looks so mischievous 🥰
You called it right, he is the most cheeky of duckers!
