If anyone can tell me what kind of duck this is and/or anything about it, I would really appreciate it.

Hey,

The duck you've got is a Muscovy. I've got 11 of them.
Heres a few websites that have general info on them...

If you do an internet search for Muscovy Ducks you'll find theres loads of available information.

Also heres a few books that'll provide helpful and useful information...

i have 2 of these ducks , they are muscovy. i have found that the males are very dominant and the females are sweet as pie. i basically raise rouens and just happen to come across 3 ducklings which i had no idea what they were. the ducklings turned out to be muscovy and the male actually was very forceful tying to attack our rabbits and the other ducks. we eventually brought him to a large duck and goose farm where he has been getting along fine. our female muscovies are very sweet and are good egg layers and sitters. we visit buttercup every other day and he is friendly and nice . i think he was to dominant for our rouens. if you are keeping them as pets please know that they can fly and like to roost in trees so it is beneficial to clip their wings .
