smerchly Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 While wondering about Dalhousie today I saw a large group of ducks being fed by an elderly couple and one duck ? stood out among the rest of the mallards . It is larger with dark plumage with white flecks on the breast . It is a cross with something , possibly a black duck which I haven't seen in years . Any duck hunters know what this thing is ???

gunner-2 Posted September 8, 2019 Report Share Posted September 8, 2019 It definitely has a Mallard head and definitely mixed with a black but what is throwing me off is the white i have mounted many mallard /black mix . The only thing i can say is ether a mallard has crossed with maybe a farm duck if so it would probably be what they call CALL DUCK.BUT by the looks of this bird it looks like a black was the one that did the mix as he has more black duck in him than mallard Very nice looking bird for sure .

smerchly Posted September 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 That sound very reasonable Mike ....The white is a mystery , maybe a farm duck had a say in it or some seagull picked got friendly.... That duck is much larger than the mallards there which makes me think his ma visited a farm one day .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
