Baby Pekin?

[bantams751]

Hey guys so I was at TSC a few days ago and they had baby ducks available, I have a few mallards at home already but anyway back to the subject I got what appears to be a baby mallard or Rouen and a baby Pekin apparently, but the baby Pekin has a few black down feathers on its back, barely noticeable from a distance and also up close but they're there lol anyone know if the feathers will turn black there as an adult? I'll also try to post a picture of what appears to be a mallard or Rouen and see if anyone can guess which it is. Thanks!

Pekin ducks are pure yellow when little, and when adult they will be pure white.

Yeah true so could this be possibly some other duck?

on the close-ups you can see that the little black feathers are there but barely noticeable

It could be but the little patch seems to have gotten darker since I got him

Hmm, just watch him it doesn't really matter unless you want to show him. Best of luck.

I've never known a Pekin duckling to have blk on it why not go to the Pekin Club thread and post your pics there I will say that is one cutie looks to be full of personality. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/742668/pekin-duck-club/8800#post_16691113and

Looking at the picture I'm pretty sure it's a pekin. Like above, It might just be skin... but if not she could be a mix maybe
