Guesses?

[Maidservant]

I have one little drake, nicknamed "Bug" that I bought as a pekin. He was a little smaller than the other pekins to begin with, but now that they all have their adult feathers in, Bug is about 1/3 the size of a pekin. He is about 1/4 bigger than my call ducks, so I know he isn't a call.

Here is a photo taken yesterday of him (the container he's standing beside is about 7 inches tall):

So, does anyone have any guesses as to what he is? I'll try to get a few more photos tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks,
Emily

I don't know, but to me he sure looks like a Pekin.

maybe he is a mutt? my pekin mix i was sure was a pekin until her 2nd molt then a bunch of gray/blue feathers started to come in.

Maybe he is just a runt.

Sure looks like a Pekin.

I heard from a breeder that there are some pekins that are close to the same size as some geese, where as others are smaller? He could be a mix though. Either way bug is quite purdy

He came in a pekin hatchery order from Privett Hatchery.

Here are a few more photos (tried to get him beside of one of the pekins):

Sure looks like a White Mallard to me.

Another thought... does this hatchery have white Campbells?

This belongs to Wokawidget. Looks to be the right size for that.
