hello there, could any one please help me id two ducks to got from a poultry show yesterday they were sold as "DUSKYS" i haven't seen them in the UK before and was hoping my American friends could help me out there about the same size as the wild mallards we get over here but darker and with out the neck ring thanks for any help Andrew
"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.
Quote: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.
Quote:nice one at the end of the day your right as long as there healthy it dosent matter what they are they must be some kind of cross
