I was wondering if anyone knows what kind of duck this is? I believe this is the father of the four ducks I have. The mom was a jumbo pekin. The guy sent me this picture right before I bought the ones I have. I originally thought this was a pic of one of the one's I bought, as he had eight of them, but this is a mature bird, and mine were only 4 months old. Then, I realized, this is the daddy to my ducks!

So, I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of duck he is? Or a mix of, if he is a mix.

My four ducks I got are the one's in my avatar. I've been told they look like Swedish mixes. But, does the daddy duck in this pic look Swedish?


Then, the next question is will my ducks have fertile eggs? (providing of course, if they mate, probably with my muscovey drakes). I know that they offspring they have will be mules, but can they have fertile eggs based on what this daddy duck looks like, and knowing mom was a jumbo pekin?

Thanks!

Edited to add: This duck was a "visitor" duck to his Pekins, which is what he raises. He told me this guy was very persistent and stayed, and fought off his pekin drake in order to mate with the hen.

I am voting that he is some sort of mallard(or rouen) mixed with a swedish, making a black swedish looking duck, with a bit of mutt... I have a black swedish duck who had a father who was a mix, and a mother who was a blue... and she looks a LOT like that!
