Any idea on what kind of duckling..?

So the one on the left is a fawn and white runner, and the brown 2 are khaki campbells.

But what is the other yellow duck, with the purpleish bill? A buff duck? Definately not a pekin. Got them from TSC. They're about 2 1/2 weeks old.

Question, have you dismissed the idea of it being pekin based on what TSC employees have told you or based on your own opinion?
Upon first glance i say pekin. Read something somewhere about the color of the bill on a pekin like yours. I don't think its a buff though, they have just as orange bill as the rest.

I didn't even talk to the people at TSC. It was like brownish/golden when I first got it. (the one on the left in front.) Pretty sure on another post of them when I first got them people said not pekins. and I got them right out of the shipping box and picked around the completely yellow ones, which I thought were pekins..

and aren't pekins big? this ones the smallest of the bunch.

Sorry I have no clue but its super cute! I've been waiting for weeks for different ducks at TSC and they've been selling like hot cakes this year but our TSC says all they are getting this year is rouens and mallards. Told me we got Mallards today but I think they might be Rouens from what I've read on the forums. Good luck finding out what your cutie is!

Buff ducklings do get a purplish hue to the bill, and they kind of get a tan look to the chest as they get a little older. They usually have a little bit of a different color around the eyes when they are little. Not sure that is a buff though from the first picture anyway. If was a pekin, would be bigger than those other ducklings by now.
Give it a week and post another picture!

This is my buffs when they were about 10 days old. You can see the bill got kind of purplish there.

Looks like i was wrong

Don't remember my buffs having that bill, course that don't mean much

My male buff (they hatched 1/31) has a caramel colored bill now, and the gals bills are a bit different too, they change, and it's kind of hard to remember exactly. LOL I think when they were day olds, the bills were pink, with a tiny hint of a smudge if that helps anyone to identify buffs or not. I got them in with pekins and they did look similar, but it was easy to tell the difference between the two.

Thanks! So I guess I should just wait a couple weeks and see for sure what color the feathers start coming in! I'd be really excited if it was a buff!
