Pekin Duck VS White Crested Ducks. CHOOSE WISELY

[Littlefrenchyinbigtexas]

You all, I posted a question about gender in the Duck forum this mornin with a video and some close pics at the end. I would really appreciate some help. One of my ducks in a Pekin. Rescued. I just cannot tell if male or female and need help. Thank you.

If i am not completely mistaken, duck one to three are Muscovies or Muscovy/Mallard hybrids. They have caruncles growing around their bills and their tails are much wider than those from the other ducks. The Black and white look like Black Swedish ducks to me.
As for the gender: The girls are usually very verbal and outspoken, once they receive their mature voice (to a point where they start to go on your nerves!) whereas the boys fell almost silent up to the point when the girls become "interesting" for them.

Neither!
Calls and Cayugas

All ducks are cute.
But after reading all of the bumble foot stories on here and the vast majority of them being pekin...
I'll have to pass on the Pekin.
As for the crested,
I am pretty sure that is something that cropped up as a deformity but people thought it was cool so they bred for that trait.
Just because it became a "breed"
does not mean that it was not a deformity to begin with. I believe it was something that cropped up by accident along the way and then people continued to breed for that characteristic.
Just like call ducks were bred to be smaller and smaller from undersized mallards and such.

Thank you. I am more thinking of a Muscovy / Pekin mix. The 4 of them came from the same Mum I think and one really looks like Pekin.,,

I don't think they're hybrids. 1, 2, and 3 look pure Muscovy to me, just young enough that they haven't developed their caruncles yet. I don't really think 1 looks like a pekin, he's just got a lot of white. I live in Florida where we have tons of feral Muscovy and I've seen everything from pure white to pure black to brown to gray.

I had a feeling Pekins would get the upper hand. Hopefully those Crested Parents hop in!
