Help me identify these ducks

[destinduck]

Welcome to BYC. Everything what Blue Creek has said.. That said its best to call your buddy back up and ask him exactly what they are. If you cant get a hold of him ever again show us some more photos of em in a couple months and we can take another stab at at.

Thank you for your help. I will try to take clearer pictures soon and more in a few months. They were dropped off at my farm so I can not get in touch with them.

Just asked a friend of mine who has raised waterfowl for over 50 years says it looks like a grey teal chestnut hybrid. I didn't even tell him what I thought it was lol

Have you figured out what they are? Any more pics you could show us?

hello
im am 95 percent sure that they are crosbread, i advice you not to breed them because they are not pure, there is 5 percent chance that they are mutation but this is verry unlikely, so i advise you not to breed them, the only way you can now if it is female and male is by sexing them, but i think looking at the pond size this will be difecult, but do not let them breed and let thier ofsprings escape in the wild!!!!!!
thanks
louis

I agree with Louis. To me they look like a hybrid for sure. Definitely chestnut teal in their somewhere. Now that I look back at cajunfowl's post, I can now see how this could be a chestnut teal crossed with a grey teal. Regardless, do not breed them.

i think it is chestnut teal-crosebred with bleu wing teal because they got some blue on thier wings like the male
but as i sed do not breed them or let them breed with an other duck on your pond to get any more crosbred ones that could potentialy fly away
