Hello,
I took photos of these ducks while walking around Lake Elizabeth and from what it looks like, most, if not all are domestic ducks.
I was wondering if anyone here happens to know about domestic ducks identification? Here's what I think so far, but would like verification if it's correct or not:
1) domestic Mallard-Muscovy hybrids. Could be Mule ducks (Mulard or Moulard) or Hinny ducks
2) Peking duck (male due to having a curled feather aka drake feather - although I was told on another forum that if they were domestic rather than wild, then the tail feather is not a good indicator to determine it's sex?)
3) Is this a juvenile Pekin duck (due to having a white patch on the back) or is it something else? Is it also female due to having a straight tail feather at the end?
4) Looks like a domestic/mutant mallard, but not sure if there is a particular name for this one.
5) Not sure what this one is either
Thanks in advance!
