"dusky duck" is another way to talk about the 'american black duck'.... which is not what you have. http://www.nhptv.org/Natureworks/americanblackduck.htm

The black duck has bits of purple on its wings, and no green head for the male... I'd have to guess that whatever you have, it's a mix...

Looks like a Khaki Campbell drake with the sun hitting him in the head just right (or crossed with something) and a rouen duck crossed with something.

khakis campbells

there definitely not campbells there much smaller about 2.5lb-3lb in weight

the top one is a khaki cambell mixed with a cayuga

no would end up much bigger than the ducks shown,
cayuga up to 7lb, campbell up to 5lb this cross would end up with a duck 5lb to 7lb,
the ducks in the photo are about 3lb.

Bantam Khakis? LOL

I have no idea, but they look really healthy.

Is it possible they are mallards? The first looks like a snowy/standard mallard mix?
