I think it's a Muscovy Duck. That is some seriously good eating!

Ewww a face only a mother duck would/could love! Too bad, as their feather pattern is gorgeous!

They were all over when I lived in Fla. Always thought they were the ugliest birds I ever laid eyes on. Mean too. I believe I may be permanently traumatized by having seen them mate when I was a precocious teen (my eyes! my eyes!). :eek: :lol: :lol: :lol:
