Help with duck identification

[Hblittle3]

I’m new to the neighborhood, but the ducks are not. I am not certain what breed or combination these ducks are and I need help. There are several Pekin, a Muscovy (female), Mallards, and then these guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

(if these 3 are in the wild, save them please. they are domestic ducks and can’t survive in the wild/without human care)

They are living in a neighborhood lake/pond. I’m not sure who bought them and cares for them. I buy scratch grains and blueberries for them.

AGREED! Also with the last part.

What about this one? Ancona?

He is black and white with the greenish blue head and then his belly is kind of calico-ish

Magpie, possibly half Ancona. Or maybe Swedish x Ancona. Ancona are pied. Magpie are black on top their head and body. Swedish are black head and body with a bit of white detailing. If you have hybrids they could be any combo of those three and maybe a few other possibilities.

Interesting. So, if they are hybrids, does that mean that they are sterile? I’m sorry for Telegraph silly questions. I am really getting attached to these guys. I have a 15 month old. Her first word, besides momma and dada, was duck. We just love them so. I didn’t realize how attached I was until the Muscovy (one of the only ones I could identify for obvious reasons) went missing at the beginning of May.
