Can a girl Pekin duck have a curled tail feathers I have 2 Pekins with same age. One has had 3 curled feathers for 2wks. I just noticed the other has 1 curled feather. If 2 drakes can live together?

If the tail has curled feathers, they are both male. As long as they aren't fighting, they can live together with no problem. It is rare for them to fight over anything. I have kept several males together with no problems at all.

Can female Cayuga ducks mate with male Pekin ducks?
Yes, they can be bred together, but obviously, some traits from each breed would come out in the eggs (or the ducklings). This would create a crossbreed between the Pekin and the Cayuga, the same goes for any other two breeds of ducks bred together, e.g. Mallards and Muscovies, or Pekins and Muscovies. The Cayuga itself I believe is a crossbreed.
Are there different breeds of duck?
Yes. There are also different weight classes. Pekins are heavey ducks and calls are small ducks and cayugas are medium ducks.
What breed of ducks do you eat?
You can eat just about any but Pekins and mallards majorly
I own 2 male white ducks and 1 white female also have a Mandrid female will they mate?
I guess if they want to, I do not see why not. Most likely your white ducks are Pekins. They will not usually breed and have viable offspring if you try to mate with a madrin. Mandrins are more closely related to wood ducks.
How often do hens sit on their eggs?
It depends on the breed. The commercials are not known for wanting to go "clucky" although breeds of bantams, pekins and rohde island reds, are known for gowing "clucky" at least once a year, usually around spring. It can also depend on the chicken. Like humans they can be unique.
You have mallard duck eggs that are over 28 days old in the incubator should you discard them?
I have pekins and they are on day 27- nointernal pip yet. Have yours pipped? Anyways, I woul hang on to them for awhile, that's what I am doing. If you get any goodf answers, perhaps you could post a few on my Q. Good luck!
Female Mallard on my pond with four ducklings two of which are pure yellow is this normal as I have only ever seen Mallard ducklings black with yellow?
The mallard ducklings are probably not pure mallard ducklings. The female mallard probably mated with a pekin duck, which are the big white ducks, Pekins are yellow as ducklings.
Where do mother ducks take her babies when it rains?
I've had up to eight Rouens and Pekins at one time but now (because of predators) have only two. I raised these from chicks/ducklings. My experience is that they actually LIKE the rain. I do provide "duckhouse" shelter for them however. We live in Florida, so rain is frequent half the year, and the climate is warm.
What is the meaning of calling someone a duck?
A call duck is a small breed of duck. They look exactly like bigger breeds of duck exept they are smaller. For examole, some look like little mallards, pekins, rouens, etc. But I don't think they have a miniature muscovy or runner duck yet.

Has anyone else had problems with recent hen attacking chicks it didnt happen last hatch pekin lavs and lemon cuckoo pekins have both pecked their chicks have now separated them?
I don't think I have ever had that problem but it sounds like the mother is trying to kill the chicks! If so, there must be a reason. Mothers purposely kill chicks if there is a problem, (ie, the chicks are not hers, the chick is unhealthy/ill/dying/in pain). If she is just pecking she might be telling them off or telling them who's boss. But I'm no chicken expert breeder so I wouldn't know.
