What kind of duck is this?

[motherhenfran]

These two little fellas (I think they're males) have been stopping by my house at least once a day for the past week or two. Lately I'll feed them. They're very friendly and cute. My year old chickens don't know how they feel about them yet. It ranges from curiosity to "mom get those things out of here!" With lots of clucking

Also--should I be worried about disease being transferred from the ducks to my girls? They are wild so I understand they most likely have things my girls can catch

I'm hoping to add Ducks to the flock eventually so Id love any tips/advice from the BYC community

Those are hybrids from cross breeding.

Mallard Mix's....

I don't let wild ducks hang around due to any possible "stuff," they might introduce to my ducks....not worth the risk....
