These geese are ducks

Thanks to your reply I now know they are neither ducks nor geese:

"Muscovy are the only domestic ducks that are not derived from Mallard stock. Native to the Caribbean Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua and Honduras where the native culture values them for their meat, Muscovy aren't really ducks, but rather large perching waterfowl (Cairina moschata)."

And:

"Since Muscovy are genetically disimilar to other domestic waterfowl, many folks believe that they're more of a goose than a duck. For instance, they eat grass, as do geese, have a similarly long egg incubation period of 35 days (compared with 28 days for ducks), and they don't quack." - Moose Manor Farms.

Walking by they sure do look and behave like fattened geese. 

Well you learn something new every day!
