Sounds like a Swedish. They have that coloring also and are the same size as a Mallard.
The Black Swedish duck would match that description, as would the Cayuga.
The mallard ducklings are probably not pure mallard ducklings. The female mallard probably mated with a pekin duck, which are the big white ducks, Pekins are yellow as ducklings.
I guess its refers to the Mallard...
Yes a Scrub Duck and a Mallard are the same thing.
Ensure the mallard duck gets good nutrition.
A Mallard Duck
A duck .
A mallard is a duck, so is a bird.
The black duck has black feathers or plumage and is similar in features close to the mallard. They tend to have a pale face with a darker body but have the color purple on the speculam.
The Mallard duck is the ancestral precursor to all domestic ducks except Muscovy ducks. The white ("Long Island duckling"), type of farm pond duck descended from and can still interbreed with mallard ducks. Although the domestic ducks are usually significantly larger, feral ducks often revert to mallard characteristics after a few generations. The mallard is the essential "type O" duck that dominates the duck gene pool. They're native only to the Americas but because of introduction they have been established on every continent except Antarctica. Mexican Ducks and Hawaiian Ducks are also mallard hybrids, and ornithological scientists now generally agree that all Black Ducks in existence are now carrying mallard DNA. They hang out with the white ducks, and vice versa, because they're "cousins" and share the same habits and characteristics in feeding, breeding, and nesting.
No
A female mallard is called a Susie :)
