He's feathers above his wings kinda remind me of a welsh harlequin but they deff aren't black ducklings. He seems like mix. A mix of what I've no clue.

Thanks! He has personality to boot. I've never known a duck to "talk" at you so much. He actually holds conversations if you talk to him. LOL.

Thanks, ducklover! That's what I was thinking too. Of all the things he could possibly be now, none start off looking like he did as a baby. :shrug: I appreciate the reply!

Lol I have an Ancona like that. When I go outside he runs to me and just talks and talks and talks. I think he's tattling but I've no clue as I haven't figured out how to speak duck yet lol.

Omg I found the mystery.. check out this link. I was gonna post a pic of the male welsh harlequins for a comparison and came across this. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/69093/welsh-harlequin-and-rouen-updated-w-pics

LOL at duck speak.
My goodness, that is incredibly similar. I wish someone had posted after the pictures were posted on there. They're saying possibly apple yard, but apple yard babies are yellow with black headstripes.
He very well could be a welsh/apple yard mix or something, though. He came from a very shady dealer at a flea market and I have no idea where she gets her ducklings..

I know I wish they had too but the pictures are really similar. Hmmm either way he is gorgeous.
