Hello, I am not a keeper of poultry but I am hoping someone here can solve a mystery for me.
On a lake near my home are a pair of nesting ducks. One appears to be a standard Aylesbury or Perkin but it's mate is compleatly different. It is all white with a red wattle around the eyes and upper beak, large upright pointed tail feathers, yellow legs, a narrow pointed white/streaky red beak with a pronounced hook at the tip.
Can anyone identify this for me, and is it likely for different breeds to mate like this ? Being domestic breeds I assume thay have escaped from somewhere nearby.
