Is this a Black Swedish? And what’s this puff?

View attachment 1348776 View attachment 1348777 View attachment 1348778 After years of having chickens I was convinced to try adding a few ducks to my flock. We came home with these two of unknown breed and sex but I’m thinking the dark one looks like a Black Swedish. Does anyone know? Also, what’s that little puff on the yellow duck’s head? I don’t think it’s a crest because it’s just this tiny spot on the side of its head. They’re both three and a half weeks old.

If the "puff" is on its head it's likely a created bird.

I was thinking that too but it just popped up about a week ago and its just this tiny little spot on the side of her head.

So long as the yellow duck is eating and growing well I would just monitor it for a sudden growth in size of the weird puff.

I have seen lots of pics of crested where it's just a small spot.

Looks like a black swede most likely. Could be a mix though.
