Unusual duck – I don’t know the breed.
UPDATE: Trish was right! Here’s what Wikipedia says of this duck:
“The Muscovy Duck (Cairina moschata) is a large duck native to Mexico, Central, and South America. Small wild and feral breeding populations have established themselves in the United States, particularly in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, as well as in many other parts of North America, including southern Canada. Feral Muscovy Ducks are found in New Zealand and have also been reported in parts of Europe.”
Thank you, Trish!

I might be wrong but I thought Muscovy duck as soon as I saw it – they’re very handsome in their own sweet way :-)
Thank you, Trish! You are exactly right! I looked up Muscovy Duck in Wikipedia and found photos that look exactly like “my” duck! Cheers! (I’m adding the description to my RB description here). Thanks again – and for the Feature!

I think he’s trying to tell you something. :)) Cute shot! We have a couple of these at the Milling Company that I get some of my dog food at in Amherst, Virginia, USA.
Thank you for swinging by and commenting, Ginny. This duck kept company with a partner. ; ) Ellen
