In this thread Happy duck posted the pic of their pekin with the drake curl feather which sticks up right up along the hind tail feathers.
If you look at your duck, he too has a feather sticking up right at the end of his hind feathers.

Yes, and that is a drake feather. All males who are descendants from the Mallard will get them.

Thay are loads smaller than the Muscovy, maybe the camera angle making them look big, but are they Mallard colours ?

I rescued them out of a small box cage behind a dirty shop in Nicosia. There were 4 but one died. They are very happy now and very vocal, interesting little characters.

They definitely have some mallard maybe rouen in them. They are mixed and very pretty!
