Mystery Duck!

[Oncoming Storm]

Now I know this is a chicken forum but I see ducks scattered in here too. So, over a year ago we bought some ducks from TSC. We bought a blue Swedish, Black swedish, and what was supposed to be a Pekin, but when he started feathering out, he was a tan/brown mottled color with a greyish head. Any clues what this might be? I’ve searched for a long time and haven’t found anything. Thanks for your help!

He looks like a Buff Orpington.

I raise these. You have an American Buff duck. See mine. I love them.

He’s a hoot! He has a weird quirk where he chases around the hens, like his two girls aren’t enough XD

It is recommended to have at least 6 ducks for a drake.

I didn’t know that. You learn new things every day. Ah well he’s about to get a third girl and I won’t argue to get more for him.

It doesn’t help that he was raised with two hens growing up lol. They’ve gotten used to it by now.

If he 'catches' them, it won't be pretty. Drakes have penises - roosters do not. Drakes breeding chicken hens can cause serious health/death issues.
