Ok, here's the story: I have a pair of Pekin (white) ducks and pair of Cayuga (black) ducks. They free range with my chickens. I incubated and hatched 2 of my duck eggs. They were really big eggs, so I assumed the Pekin to be the female laying them. They hatched to be black and white ducks! So, I assumed the male Cayuga to be the father. Even their bills and feet are yellow and black. One duck has grown beautifully, mostly black with bits of white and green. The other is growing funky. Bill is crooked, only growing feathers on the front half of its body, with only fuzz on the back half. It's mostly blind, and is easily knocked over by the other birds and has trouble getting back up. It's mostly black with patches of white and a little green - but the black is mottled with a copper brown color in a pattern like a barred rock chicken? None of my other ducks have this color. And the skin on its legs look more like chicken legs. Is it possible for a chicken to breed with a duck? I mean, like, the male and female duck mated, and then a chicken mated the female duck right after and some of its genes got mixed in? Idk, but I have a really weird duck :/
Anyone have any ideas?

No matter what it is exactly it is a very unique bird!
