What Are These Things???

[rodriguezpoultry]

I came home from driving and found these things next to my apartment...can anyone tell me what they are? (Other than ducks!

)

The little-fro one is tiny! The other one is about the size of a Cayuga?

Wood ducks? Or Mandarins - one of those.

The small one is a drake wood duck - I have no idea about the larger one.

The little guy is a wood duck, the other I have no idea. Maybe a mutt? Or another exotic breed.

The large one looks like a muscovy and mallard cross.

By the way - they're gorgeous! Wish they were in my back yard.

Little one is a wood duck drake and the big one is a sterile muscovy, crossed with some kind of domestic breed.

Cool! I went to take the dogs out and they were taking off. Looks like they are a mated pair because they wouldn't leave each others' sides.

What an awkward breeding stance that must be...

A Muscovy/Wood Duck??? the best of both worlds!

i immediately thought that big girl looked like a scovy/woody mix, she has that pretty 'liner' the woody hens have. how is that possible though?? either way, what a beautiful & odd pair!

I doubt it's a wood/Muscovy cross but she does sort of look like it, I don't think it would be possible.
