We got 3 Rouens from TSC earlier this year and we were thinking we needed more hens. Bought 3 ducks at the near by flea market and we asked for 3 KC hens. We ended with one drake cayuga and Cayuga hen. This baby featured below, I am now wondering if Sunny is a Golden 300 or a KC Also thought she was a she but when our drake is done , Sunny or Sonny(??) hops on the back of our Marley. Once Our drake was on Sunny. ( can only tell by Cayuga markings)No drake feathers on any of them but the day after the Cayuga’s first “date” , she began laying and nesting. Cayuga hen only lays on it at night though. It’s been feeling like 105f some of these days.
So with all this… what kind of breed do y’all think? And is it super common for a female to be right there on stand by ? Lol I know they can be open when it comes to mating.
Hopefully it makes sense. TY! I’m hopeful Marley will go full on broody and get more Cayuga babies!
First Pics are Sunny the possible Golden 300
Last pics are the drake Cayuga

I’m even more confused! Our Cayuga drake is sitting on the clutch! I’ll attach who we thought was the hen until this morning 🙄 She is dull with white chest.

To me she looks like a KC. Almost identical to the KC we had. I’m pretty sure golden 300 are a bit lighter in color. Yours looks pretty dark.

Pics of our KC for reference

Omgoodness yes!!Wow! That’s her!!! Well, I am confused about her now too. We love her either way! Her head got a tad darker but nowhere near a drake though.
