Not sure what kind of duck this is, was supposed to be a perkin.

I got 2 ducks one is a mallard the other was supposed to be a perkin. It is not a Perkin. Can someone tell me what I have

What sounds is the lovely buff duck making? She might be a he with a developing drake curl. If she is quacking, it's just a sticky up tail feather!

she looks like a beautiful Buff or Buff Orpington duck

The reason I say Buff drake is the head looks to be getting the darker grey coloring but it could be the lighting too

What colour was it as a duckling? Where did you get them from?

Yellow, and I got them from Tractor Supply

the head is getting Darker than the rest of “her “ body.

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 you

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

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.

Like Miss Lydia said, with the different coloured head, it looks like it. And at this age, if it isn't quacking, it's a drake.

I agree it's likely a male. My female doesn't have a head with that shade, hers is pretty much the same as her body, if not lighter

 

[Miss Lydia]

I say a Buff Orpington drake very handsome.
