list of ducks that fly?

[eggdd]

is there a list of ducks that fly? does anyone know off the top of their heads?

Muscovies!

As Rosecomb-Ryan has said- Muscovies- but also Mallards and the small bantam breeds. The wild ornamental breeds such as wood ducks- mandarins and the like are also fliers. Generally anything other than the domestic varieties that over the years have been selected for egg laying capabilities and meat production.

 

[Ducks and Banny hens]

Starting at bantam, and going up...
-Calls
-East Indies
-Australian Spotteds
-Silver Bantams
-Mallards
-Campbells
-Forests
-Harlequins
-Oudenaarde
-DHBs
-Overbergs
-Shetlands
-Indian Runners
-Magpies

Those that occasionally can get of the ground...
-Orpingtons
-Swedish
-Danish
-Termondes

Those that occasionally can get over the fence (not like that bothers me)...
-All remaining breeds, Except Aylesbury and show Rouen

Buff Orpingtons: do very much fly, very rarely though. One of my girls flew over a 5 foot fence.
Swedish: Can fly but not very well (along with any duck).
Runners: don't really fly, but they can get off the ground for a few feet.
-All ducks can fly but some are poor flyers.
These three breeds I own, so I'm only going off my experiences.
