    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to this forum and I was wondering if someone can help me with naming the species of this duck. I have had her for about 2 years now. I found her when she has a baby at a flea market, and I have raised her for the past 2 years. When I first got her, she had fur-like feathers that were medium to dark brown in color. I know that she is a female because she has layed eggs in the past. I have current pictures of her.

    I am no expert but she looks alot like my Khaki Campbells. The beak colour on mine is different though.

    A Khaki Campbell? Never heard of it. How common is this duck in the US?

    New England.. the cold part.
    It's one of the best farm ducks due to it's high egg laying capability. I want some!

    Khaki Campbell great egg layers. Could be a mixture with a Buff Orpington.

    I think that its a mix. To me, it looks like a Campbell X Blue Swedish. The color doesn't look kaki enough to be true and it seems to have a greyish cast to the feathers. It also has the white ring around her beak that a lot of Blue Swedish get. (though I'm sure other breeds do too.)
