I got some ducks from my local feed store first week of march. I have a Blue Swedish, Black Swedish, a Rouen and a little yellow mystery duck. Any guesses as to what it may be?

The swed's are a week or so younger than the Rouen and mystery duck. They were from a separate purchase. I have had Peking's before and thats what's got me stumped. Im not sure thats what it is. Ill try to get a better pick of all of them upright. There isn't much of a size variation.
 
It must be a white campbell. I looked into a bit. I have raised Pekins before and this one has a longer neck and stands taller than pekins. Comparing images to both, this one favors the white campbell traits. My pekins seemed to grow much more rapidly than this little one aswell. That's what was making me skeptical. Hopefully mystery has been solved. :)
 
I have never heard of a white campbell! What do they look like fully grown and feathered?

They are very similar to pekins. I have never heard of them until now either. Pekins are larger and boxier than campbell's. The Campbell's have longer necks and stand more upright like a runner. This one sure had me stumped. I have raised Pekins before and this one didn't have the same characteristics. The Pekins originated in China and the Campbell's in England. They also come in Khaki, Dark and Pied! :)

I'd guess hatchery quality runner. Campbell's are small ducks, and should not weigh over 4lbs at full growth. Also no hatchery has white Campbell. There pretty rare.

I was thinking the same thing, since white campbells don't seem to be that popular or available here, still think a call to the feed store to see what hatchery they use would dif solve the mystery.
