Another - What's His Breed? thread

[Amiga]

Hello, duck nurturers!

Found a handsome drake in a rough situation and found him a very good home.

I won't say more until I've heard from some of you breed-aware BYCers.

ETA - his back has soft, I want to call it lavender tones.

Looks like a saxony cross???. The head is too dark- as are the wing feathers. Very pretty boy though. Glad to hear he now has a good new home.

Good looking but not sure on breed

 

[MysticalMom]

Welsh Harlequin?

 

[roocrazy]

im guessing a BUFF drake

He's pretty. There's one at our local lake that looks like that, but he's a runner.

Hmmm...not sure.
He's beautiful, though.

Glad he now has a good home.

Yes, I don't know his lineage - the initial rescuer's feelings were runner/mallard/khaki campbell, maybe a touch of Swede.

He looks a bit Saxony, a bit Streicher Ente, a bit Golden Cascade. I can see the mallard wing, the neck ring - but the ring doesn't seem to go all the way around. His feet are so orange, to me - my runner girls' feet are all shades of brown and black. He weighs about five pounds. Mellow, but he warned me off a couple of times until he got used to his surroundings, which only takes a few minutes, apparently.

I am happy to report he checked out quite healthy at the vet, so we are expecting him to thrive in his new environment, where there are a few other ducks and other animals in a peaceful setting.

Thanks for the thoughts on this guy's background . . . I fell for him right away!

He looks like a Welsh Harlequin drake. Gold.

Here is mine...TJ

Thanks, everyone, for helping out! Please keep contributing!

Are his bright orange feet significant in identification, or are those standard on many breeds?

What I saw was how light his back and lower sides are. Wifezilla, there's a Gold variety of Welsh Harlequin? Wow!
