You know the crested duck is refering to the mallard derived breed not the species right?http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Ducks/Crest/BRKCrestedDucks.html

where'd my article on Appleyard ducks go why was it deleted without explanation it had the same amount of info as the buff duck page? The Great White Hunter 16:28, 16 January 2007 (UTC) Mike_Winters

It was deleted as a copyvio of the two articles cited in the references. Yomangani^talk 16:31, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] strange pic

Why does a duck page have a pic of geese with roosters in the background? 81.153.58.189 11:28, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Those are Pekin ducks, not Domestic geese, they're both white, but geese have much longer necks and are shaped differently.--Doug.^{(talk • contribs)} 17:24, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How old?

This article has nothing about where and when they were first domesticated, other than that they have been for "hundreds of years". Isn't it more likely to be thousands of years, as with chickens/geese/turkeys? --81.158.147.90 (talk) 14:39, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
