What breed of duck is this?

[KathiQuacks]

Dad = khaki plus blue runner??? or is he a khaki Campbell plus blue Swedish?
Mom = The buff duck

So your baby is a khaki buff blue runner mix- or a khaki Campbell buff blue Swedish mix??
super cute!

The mama being the buff explains why your friend says the baby is buff. but Yeah, the dad was involved too lol

Oh, this could be it! I didn’t even think about her being a mix of 3 breeds. Buff Blue Khaki I’m very excited to see her ducklings now

Are you sure on the Khaki Campbell? The light brown female seems too light to be a Khaki.

Khaki Campbells can vary in shades of Brown. Some are darker and some are lighter. It depends on the duck! It being a mixed breed can also change things a bit. He/she is a very beautiful duck!!

Perhaps I should post an update here
I have ducklings! Many ducklings! And a few more on the way.

These ducklings are the result of the duck mentioned in this thread, and my Crested Pekin drake. Do you think, from the duckling coloration, Buff x Blue-Khaki is correct for my hen? Or maybe my hen is really a Buff x Blue-Rouen?

Lots of variation going on! Everyone is full siblings with each other, I’m sure of it.
The two eldest look very Pekin / Buff to me, but the youngest 3 all look like Rouens! I can tell they are a bit lighter in color than normal Rouens, though.
What do you think?

I'm always amazed at the results of crossing ducks. I know that the genetics are the reason, but the recessive genes that come through (especially in Pekins from my experience) can be surprising.

Very! I really can’t believe how different everyone looks.

So.. any idea if the mix I think their mom is is correct? Or maybe @Jenbirdee or @GirlsHuntToo knows?
I know she looks very Khaki, but I’m wondering from her ducklings if my hen is really a Buff x Blue-Rouen. Unless the Rouen-like coloration could be from something else??

Are they possibly mixed with 2 or more different breeds?

Definitely. The ducklings are a mix of at least 4 breeds. It’s making things very difficult lol. I’m trying to figure out the breed of their mom, though.

 

[Jenbirdee]

they are delightful mutts lol i think after 4 or more breeds are involved they are now called a barnyard mix

Could you post Momma duck? I could ID for you!

She’s the first post in this thread, along with pictures of her parents. You helped a bit with IDing her a few months ago haha

Her mom is a Buff duck, and I thought her dad was Blue-Khaki, but not sure now.
