Hi everyone!

I took this duckling in 2 days ago after someone found it at a local park along with its suspected sibling. The sibling supposedly has a broken leg but no one has been able to find it since. People are actively looking and I will take it in as well when it is found. The wildlife officer was contacted but determined these are not wild ducks so he could not assist.

I have several 11 month old Pekin ducks and will need to keep this little guy/girl separate until it is a bit older. I am not too familiar with duck breeds or how to age them, so I would appreciate your help!

Thank you very much in advance!
 
That is a black swedish, although he isn’t presenting enough white on the chest so he is probably 8-10 weeks and should be mottled white with basic color. Below is

Yup Black Swedish.
Are you gonna keep her. They are good layers. She might be able to join the Pekin in a few weeks. Although it could be a male? No se¿

Yes, I am keeping him/her. Is there a good way to tell sex?
