Title: Any idea what this mallard is crossed with?
Post by: rocklakemama on January 06, 2019, 04:45:43 PM

We saw these ducks in Toronto yesterday. We've never seen a mallard like the one on the right. Does anyone have an idea as to what it may be crossed with?

mallards domesticate very easily, on farms and parks with other farm ducks around, these are usually referred to a "Bibbed" ducks. have numerous colour visitations and most have that white front patch
