Oh, I see. I'll be interested to see what others says.

Because you can never have too many duck photos.

What are the possible females? All khaki campbells? And you just have a WH male and a Butterscotch Call male?

They may still be muscovy crosses, even if you didn't see a mating - I've actually never seen my Call ducks mating, but the eggs were still fertile

Yes. I only have khaki females. Four of them. And it would have to be either the welshie or the call duck. The muscovey lives on the golf course. We also had a male mallard that stopped by a few times.

I mentioned the Muscovy cross because I have a few that look exactly like that and each time they incubate their eggs none of them develop.

Yes, that's what's making me think crosses, they definitely look like they could be.

@Houndhunter77, didn't you say you had the muscovies with the other ducks for awhile? Did you incubate these two ducks yourself? If so, do you remember how long it took them to hatch?

Either they're crosses or they're a new mutation, because there's no extended black gene in any of the mallard derived parents.

If they're muscovy crosses, they'll be sterile.

Extended black is recessive...or at least, incompletely dominant... It could have been hiding out in any of the other ducks.

I do suspect Muscovy cross though. If you google "Muscovy crosses", you will see a lot of similar looking ducks.
