maybe a hybrid of a pekin and a rouen or mallard, but I don't see any goose there.

A pekinxrouen isn't a hybrid, it's a cross of 2 breeds of the same species.

I think it depends on how you define "duck" and "goose." For example, everything I've read has said that "egyptian geese" are really more closely related to shelducks (or sometimes "sheldrakes") than true geese. Shelducks are intermediate between ducks and geese, and I'd think that a hybrid "duck/goose" might be more likely if it involved a member from this group. I haven't found an article describing a particular instance of Duck X Goose, but I did about Swan X Goose....do I get partial credit for that?

Actually, shelducks and shaldgeese are now where as closely related genetically to ducks. (Anas) or geese (anser) as ducks are to geese.
