April 16Apr 16 I live in Maerim and have 34 mallard ducks in three generations living on my lake. So far they are all healthy, but I'm worried about inbreeding in the future. Ideally, I'd like to find someone else in my position who'd be interested in swapping a few young mallard drakes. Failing that, I'd like to buy a couple and find a home for three where they are unlikely to be eaten. I'd be immensely grateful for any information or advice at all (but especially anyone interested in swapping, selling or giving a home to a few).More photos available on request.

They’re also supposed to be banded, though many smaller breeders skip both. Ducks with both black feet and black bills are usually either Muscovies or Cayugas.The duck pictured looks more like a Muscovy or Muscovy mix to me. I’ve been rescuing wild waterfowl for over ten years and have never seen — or even heard of — a black-and-white Mallard. You do sometimes see Black Duck × Mallard hybrids, but they’re typically darker overall and still resemble Mallards more closely.I actually have two domestic × Muscovy hybrids myself: a Pekin-Muscovy mule and a Muscovy × domestic hinny.
June 6Jun 6 Author The odd thing about the white ones (and one of them is absolutely pure white) is that they were born here this year from parents living here none of whom are nearly all white.Ten healthy males, aged one to three months, are still available for anyone who'll undertake to look after them.
June 7Jun 7 I have a Facebook group called Backyard Chickens - Thailand. There are a few folks on there who have/keep ducks. You could try posting on there.
June 23Jun 23 Author I have found a seller of mallards. Is there really no one here who wants a gift of ten healthy mallard drakes?
