But the person didn't say what breed he was (I assume it's a he and I am NOT venting him )

I have posted some pictures,

I've raised Pekin, African/Chinese geese and Muscovy,
I've never seen a duckling like him.
I think he is Rouen or possibly blue Swedish,
I apologize for the lighting
The sun is going down.
I took better photos indoors to compensate
He's gold and black as you can tell, long neck.
Black feet,
VERY annoying, I can't leave for 2 seconds or go 5 feet or he Starts crying lol
Hyperactive.
That could just be his personality but..
Anyway those who have raised Ducks (besides me), help me!
It’s pretty! That’s what it is!:love
 
I’d also guess it’s 3 weeks old. They are mostly feathered by 6 weeks old.

That's what I figured
3-5 weeks.
It’s pretty! That’s what it is!:love


I know! He's adorable!
Doesn't seem to be the brightest. But he is certainly the cutest!
I just wish I knew if "he" was a he.

I assume he is, he's big and those tail feathers look curled.
 
Can you post a video of it peeping? Girls start sounding different right about now if you know what you are listening for.

You still have hope for a girl if that’s what you are wanting. Drake feathers won’t come in for at least 2 more months. The feathers coming in now are kinda flimsy and look like they curl up. But it’s not quite the same as a drake feather. It will get all of its beautiful sleek adult feathers, then if it’s a male, it will eventually get its drake feather. But you will know way before it’s drake feather. It’s peep will start changing drastically in the next two weeks if it’s a girl. If the peeping just gets louder, then it’s probably a male.

I can hear "his" peeping halfway across the room.
I tried to upload a clip but it says the extension isn't allowed (.Mov)
I'm on my IPhone so.
Anyway he peeps pretty loudly,
I know Muscovy hiss,
Dunno about Blue swede drakes.
(The first time I got my drake I thought he was choking I was so worried)

But he is really loud right now I mean.
