Hi, Doug from Quito, Ecuador. The internet here is catching on. Have you looked for a cere bud? Should be easy to see at this point. Photos look muscovy to me but hard to tell.

Supposed to fly to Venezuela thursday...prob bad idea...trying to delay or change.

In unrelated duck news have seen very few ducks here, a few mallard derivatives and two young white male muscovys in the Amazon near Coca. No wild muscovys, they like quiet backwaters apparently. No duck meat for sale in stores or pets eitther altough chickens run around everywhere. Did see one Andean torrent duck in Mindo as white-capped dippers yelled at each other over territories.

Hasta luego, Doug Miller

:Cathy, I asked some people on a different forum what they thought, heres a link so you can see for yourself http://www.poultryconnection.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1740
:they all thought they could be a muscovy cross which would lead to them being mules(infertility)(if you go to the link and scroll down you'll see where they were talking about mules)
:good luck!
:(p.s. they're really cute)
