is this a cayuga?

hello i got this duck about a month ago, i was told it might be a cayuga, any thoughts would be appreciated

Maybe his aunt was a Cayuga, but that drake surely is not. He bears the most resemblance to a Campell duck although he is certainly not pure bred.

Nope, not Cayuga.

Buncha Outdoor PET chickens, ducks, two Toulouse ganders, and four turkeys. Plus 2 wiener dogs, some bunnies and a rescue cat which owns me. Oh. And a house silkie....

Maybe he is a Campbell, but he could also be some kind of hybrid.

campbells are light colored tho right?

Depends on the strain, I guess. I've seen pictures with Campbells lighter than your duck and with ducks of about the same colour as your drake.

Do Campbell's get the green heads?
post #10 of 33

The standart description says that the drake's head should dark brown with a dull green gleam.

 

Your bird may have a too brightly coloured head. Also, the bill is supposed to be green. The bill of your drake seems to appear a little too yellow. But it's hard to tell without a close-up picture.
