Organic gardening 2025

I have been busy and not really feeling too good. My garden is going good with the corn, green beans and squash plants. I have some tomato and pepper plants but the stinking dog keeps getting into the peppers and I am about ready to just take her off. I still have the puppies and I am so not happy about it but I can't get anyone to go with me to help me get rid of them at a store. The son and daughter in law are taking Mehawk and Whiner. The first born is a girl and she got a foxtail in her eye, I kept wiping it with warm washcloths and finally managed to get it out. Now I think she might be going blind in the eye. The puppies are loving having the 2 small kiddie pools filled so they can get in and cool down a bit because we've been hitting triple digits

I'm wondering if anyone knows if I have 2 female ducks and 1 is a different breed if the drake would breed both of them or not. I want to get more ducklings but not raising them in the house because of the nasty. Thank you for the help.

Kind of late responding to this, but yes, if both your females are mallard-derived breeds (I.e. normal domestic ducks) then your drake will breed them both. But I believe that very few of them would go broody and hatch and raise their own offspring.

Muscovy ducks on the other hand (the other domesticated species besides mallard-derived) are known for going broody and hatching out eggs. I’m pretty sure Muscovy can interbreed with mallard-derived. I think they call those mules, and I would surmise those are infertile like other mules.
