They are both Mallard, so even though these domestics are intergrades, they should be reported as Mallard (Domestic Type) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aaron 834 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Out of all the duck species only two have been domesticated: The mallard and the Muscovy. The vast majority of domestic ducks are mallards (the rest being muscovies) all of which have their own name based on their breed... like dogs.
