I got a duck today that I was told was a male runner/peking cross, but I am doubtful. I haven't gotten a pic yet, he's rather rattled so I am letting him chill in the duck coop for awhile, but he's got a black head that shines green in the light (like a cayuga) and a black body with a white chest and a few white spots around the chest. Looks like a swedish/cayuga cross to me, but I am no expert. Oh and it's supposed to be a full grown male, but has no sex feather, though it does have a hoarse voice. Any ideas?
 
I'm not 100% on how the genetics work, but he could be a Black Runner/Pekin cross - I know that iamcuriositycat has been hatching some Blue Bibbed purebred (mixed-color) Runners, and I know that the Runner Pattern can cause white bibs when you mix colors/breeds.

Swedish/Cayuga mix is a good possibility too - you MUST post pictures!
