This Duck is much bigger than a Mallard. I think it has Rouen in it. Rouen Mallards are raised only for ornamental purposes.
Well that would go along with it being domesticated or at least coming from a parent who was.....
Liam, I think that this is across between Rouen Mallard and Cayuga. It still does not explain the yellowish beak.
My guess is that he's a hybrid of a domestic mallard and wild mallard. The size might just be him fluffy out his feathers.
Look at the size of him compared to the mallards! The curled feathers on the back would indicate he has some mallard in him.
