Something rare ? or just a farm yard illicit duck coupling with a imprisoned shelduck and mallard.

This is worse than those "look at me, I have a girlfriend" type threads. Although I would rather have a duck than a girlfriend.

Yup, Muscovy. Not an especially attractive bird, and rather aggressive. Originate from Mexico/South America:

I wave a cows - they always look like they're a bit bored and could do with some mental stimulus, no matter how slight.
