muscovy and call duck

[estick]

so i have an almost all black duck with a little yellow on belly. i am almost positive he /she is a mix between a call duck and muscovy... is this possible? what do i call it? what is he/she going to look like?? i only have muscovy, call and mallard...

Have you seen the two species mating? I imagine it to be quite difficult for a call drake to mount a female muscovy, and a muscovy drake would simply crush a female call.

i got the duck from a friend. she said the male call was really trying! if its not a mix could it just be a call? or just a muscovy? is the coloring more traditional for one or the other? it is all black, a little yellow spot near eye... some yellow on chest... two weeks old and less than half the size of my 4 week old. mallard

http://www.muscovyduckcentral.com/gender.html look at the pics of the 2 ducklings on this link, their bill is pointed at the tip with a lil hook that's one distinguishing mark of a Muscovy.

It almost looks like a Rouen. It doesn't look like Muscovy, I would say it looks more like a grey call duck than a Muscovy.

sorry I meant to say black call duck.
