the head is getting Darker than the rest of “her “ body.The reason I say Buff drake is the head looks to be getting the darker grey coloring but it could be the lighting too

Thank You so much! And I believe you are correct. When I looked up Buff Orpington, that’s exactly what she looks like! Now I know what Twinkie is! Thank youshe looks like a beautiful Buff or Buff Orpington duck
Interesting. They do look more yellow as ducklings so might have been put in the wrong bin. The Buffs have a bit of an eye line though. That's the only explanation I can find for him not being a Pekin!
I’m gonna say I got lucky also, I love that duck, and so beautiful. So do you think I have a boy? I know my Mallard is a girl they’re very easy to tell.Interesting.

I would say you got lucky, personally. I love Buffs, plus Pekin tend to have more health issues having been bred to be meat birds.
