Is she a Saxony or Buff?

[Chickenraiser1995]

I’m still trying to figure out if my duck is a buff or Saxony. I’ve had mixed answers. She does quack so I’m certain she’s a girl.

I'm thinking a Buff Appleyard cross..She is a Big girl..

She shouldn’t be a mix; she’s from a hatchery.

I see an incoming speculum and some facial stripes, so I say Saxony.

I raise buffs and she is not a buff. Looks like a Saxony to me.

she doesn't have the eye stripe Saxony has...don't think she is a Saxony anymore.

Here she is about 11-12 weeks old. She’s large compared to the runner and Campbell. She’s honestly about the same size as the pekin girl!

Oh yes she’s definitely a lady. She’s not as loud as the other girls but she does quack. I still need to ask the feed store which hatchery they buy from. Some clearer pics of her face:

I have a one-year old American Buff duck and a one-year old Saxony duck (from Sandhill Preservation) and she definitely looks like a Saxony to me.
