It's a duck.

Actually, I have one identical to that. Same size, same bluish markings, same goofy crest. Well, mine only has half a crest, since the other half got pecked off while still at TSC.

We can figure out the breed together as they grow!

If you ask the feed store what hatchery they use,,,,,you can do the process of elimination. That is what I did with the ducks from my feed store. They were in the assorted bin also and I found out they came from Estes Hatchery. I looked to see what breed of ducks they carried then went on line to look at the pictures of baby ducklings of that breed. I got them all right because they are feathered out now. Just thought that might help. Good luck.

I've called the store and was never able to get ahold of someone who knew. I'm going to keep calling and trying to find someone who may know

The duckling came from Estes Hatchery (www.esteshatchery.com)
For ducklings it list:
- Indian Runner
-Khaki Campbell
-Mallard
-Pekin
-Ancona
-Cayuga
-Crested
-Harlequin
-Rouen


and for crested it says:
Crested ducks are a dual purpose breed that lays well but also grow fast, making them fit for butchering. The crest appears on approximately 1/3 of the ducklings and can be recognized immediately. We offer a variety of colors ranging from blue, black, black and white, etc. Their unusual "top knots" make them an interesting addition to any backyard flock.

What does that mean? What breed are they? Or are they mixes?

It kinda looks like my crested buff orpington duckling
