Domestic ducks![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In Atypical Ducks and in Mallard Duck domestic variant some commentaries are made on their characteristics and history of these domestic ducks. We know they come from the same species Anas platyrhynchos and that they are the result of domestication by man. For this reason they are not included in field guides and are not well appreciated in reserves. This Pekin male had already mated with its pair in January 2015. They were not lucky since all eggs disappeared. Further attempts to breed were not detected till Nicolás registered this event with a change of actors on Tuesday 18th. He tells us that the mallard duck and the pekin duck were navigating in the pond and the other pekin duck was a bit far away. Within a fraction of a second the mating scene begins. The female shows receptive, the male mounts her, grasps her by the neck with the bill and after mating, the triumphal clousure. ¿What will result of this union if it thrives? We will be attentive. |
