In the same garden, although these 2 were constant companions, could the crested
mallard-descendant be the parent of the large duck above with one of the ubiquitous Muscovies?
This very similar-looking duck with large clawed "Muscovy" feet lives
a couple of miles away in another closed garden with several domestic ducks, mainly Appleyards, and a couple of Muscovies.
It may have the same parentage?
Lives with Muscovies. More upright stance than Muscovy with thinner, redder legs.
