That is actually a desired trait in Anconas!You can kinda see the blue here

My favorite drake has the most beautiful green checks!
Even if not a purebred, she's a very pretty duck you have. Kudos on taking her in too by thr way.

Really how can you tell? please explain. For me it was just a guess of course.Poorly bred Magpie
Too much black on the head and body for an Ancona, and too small as well.Really how can you tell? please explain. For me it was just a guess of course.
We recently acquired our first cross breed. It was dumped at our local fairgrounds. We picked it up and brought it home to join our flock. I only had muscovies untill this new addition. I know very little about crosses. Im curious how you tell the sex. And also if you can tell what it's crossed with. It quacks alot. Extremely friendly. Doesn't seem to want anything to do with my other ducks and follows me around like a puppy. This is only day 2 of having it here. I can't seem to get it to eat the duck food or pretty much anything for that matter. It's drinking and foraging though. Any help would be much appreciated!View attachment 1875323 View attachment 1875324
