Please help me identify my duck! I'm new to this!

Hello from South Florida! I have just started with ducks and am totally in love with my new pets! My male was sold to me as a Pekin, but to me he is a Magpie. The man who sold me the female could not tell me the breed, but after researching I am thing perhaps it is a Anacona. I know these two breeds are genetically similar. Could the experts weigh in and tell me what they think? Thank you so much!

The male is for sure a Magpie or possible an Ancona, but the female...Probably a mix.

The only reason I wondered if the female was an Anacona is that I read the beak could be dark in that breed, which hers is...Thank you for the input. She lays an egg every day, and has seven right now. Hopefully she'll be broody .

. She looks a little heavy to me to be a full Magpie. Maybe a Magpie mix?

Both mixes and both pretty

Thank you all! Yes I think for my first ducks they are mighty fine! They stay together all the time, he lets her eat first to her fill before he eats, seems protective of her...a very romantic couple!

I would say either Magpie or Ancona mix on the black and white one and not sure on the other one... Mix.

Looks like it might be mix of Pekin and Buff Orphington
