Show winning xbred drake, lol

[Kimmyh51]

i saw the 'online poultry' forum amd it reminded me of this local news article I saw the other day (see link to article at bottom of post)

While I am sure the drake in the article is a mighty handsome fellow (and it goes without saying he should not ever have his neck wrung), to me he looks pretty much the same as a number of my drakes...
Could one of my boys have won the show? (And therefore the glory...?)

Or is there some special feature in this drake that those who have experience in duck exhibition, breed standards (or x-breed stds) and showing etc will be able to see that I cant...

Anyway, comments people? Not on the reprehensible idea that his neck should be wrung, but on his physical characteristics, from a best in show perspective?

Maybe it was a meat bird class, and his neck was to be wrung ?

He is gorgeous and I think it’s really cool he won,hopefully he will live to sire many more beauties.

I wouldn't say that is a very impressive duck. By show standards, something was very wrong with that show if he won. Sorry to say, but those are the facts.
