I swear this is true. I saw it with my own eyes. I gave a rooster to my neighbors and it mates with the ducks, boys too! What is up with that? lol

He's dominating those other birds, not actually mating with them.

I also see this happening when the rooster is getting a ride on the back of my goats. Does this mean I can expect Rooster-kids ??? Nature...a mysterious thing ?? Just love the county life. Gives you a lot of opportunities to discuss the birds and the bees with your children !!??

LOL!

We lost our huge gander this past summer - the female African, Suze, let one of my mallard drakes try to mate with her for months. My husband was down at the pond one afternoon, and the stupid duck was riding around on her back! And he didn't have the camera.......sigh.
