I bet I do. I'll check my pictures. When my Buff hen Sophie was growing up she looked a lot like a Pekin to me too. She didn't grow nearly as quickly as a Pekin though.

This is my Buff girl Sophie at one day, four weeks (I think), and young adult. She did look awfully Pekin-ish. Sorry that the picture is flipped. I kept uploading it in the correct orientation and then it would be displayed sideways anyway

I hope this helps!

I can't help but notice the similarities between my runner drake and my new buff hen. The buff may be way tinier but she has a flat head like many runners (not mine) and she runs half upright. Do you think that she may be a runner x buff cross? Or do some buffs look this way?

Well, I believe that Buffs came from Cayuga, Aylesbury, Runner and Rouen.

Good point. Maybe the runner is just more evident in this line of buffs. Thanks!

Thanks, your picture in the middle - they look like that but white everywhere that the baby yellow is disappearing. I'm still crossing my fingers.

Flappers - I've got one that looks like that - he/she stands up taller as well. I figure it's the runner coming out in them.

Good to know that my buff isn't just an odd one

First egg from my buff duck arrived this morning! This is my first egg ever so it is very exciting!

I had a mixed that looked very much like this one. It was from a buff egg, but I also had Mallards, and I guessed them to be mixed. They were quite beautiful, and when at full plumage, had a slightly richer buff color.
