Is she a Saxony or Buff?

She one gorgeous duck!

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

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

The lavender feathers say Saxony.

Hi Lovely , Saxony without eye stripe = mix maybe?
Here are my Saxony - at same age.
I think I have 1 drake and 1 duck quaking now.

Very odd. Looks exactly like my male buff but with the mismarked saxony eye stripe. Mine is just starting to get his blue head.

When you can get close enough please post a good headshot of her too. Her size and color points all say Saxony. I’m very focused on this breed myself and working with local 4-H program to bring in new lines.
Which hatchery did you get your girl from?

I'm definitely thinking saxony as well considering she came from a hatchery. I'm sure by this age you know for a fact that it is a female so definitely wouldn't be a buff as only drakes have the blue plumage. Perhaps she's just not what one would consider to be of "show quality". Makes her no less of duck in my eyes though!

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:

She sure is a pretty little lady that's for sure
