Can anyone Identify our Duck Please..?????

[JeanGenie]

Hi

My wife hatched out some duck eggs for the first time a few weeks ago, and we purchased Indian Runner's or so we thought. She hatched 3 out of 6 and all 3 are totally different colours and markings. Can anyone tell us what breed this is please, have trawled the net to no avail to find out what he is.

Sorry to sound so stupid but his sister from the same hatch is an Aylesbury, she is pure white and has blue eyes. We also have 2 full grown Aylesbury's and she is identical so what have we got...????

Thanks

Do you know if it is a duck or a drake??? It looks to be some kind of cross to me. That neck ring is huge- Nothing I know has that colouring and a neck ring.

Hi

Thanks for the VERY FAST reply....

Tracey, my wife and I are pretty sure he is a drake... though never having hatched or kept ducks before this spring we are not certain. We felt he was a Campbell, as his sister is pure white and looks like an Aylesbury... She is the one in the picture just below him. And he has another sister that is green-grey and dusky.... Bought runner ducks eggs from a breeder here in the UK.... lololol

Thanks again

Looks to me like a cross between a trout runner and . . . . ?

I'm just in awe of the incredible neck ring. Certainly is a striking duck (or drake?).

Not sure on breed - but im thinking drake.
