One duck and 5 roosters that are unidentified. Can someone help?

I have ten ducks. Nine are rouen ducks and one that was a hatchery choice and I do not know what kind it is. I also have the warmer roosters that were sent in the box and need to know what kind they are. I would be grateful for any help identifying them as the hatchery did not send the breed name with the paperwork. Thanks.

What hatchery did you get it from? All I know that come in black is Cayugas, Black Runner, and some Muscovy.


With that shot it looks like a goose. xD

Oh my. I suppose it could be a goose. But I did order a hatchery choice duck. He was the smallest when they came but is now the biggest. Bigger even than the Rouens. I ordered from Ideal Poultry. Thanks for the I.D. on the roosters. I'm very grateful.

I would guess Cayuga

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

I was just saying he looked like a goose. I don't think goslings come in black. Or do they? O.o

 

He could also be a Black East Indian Duck. I think either the Black East Indian or the Cayuga Duck. I am thinking more Cayuga, because of how big he is.

I was hoping for the East Indies duck but I love him anyway. I keep watching the tips of his wings for green.
