TSC Duckling ID

[JennBenn]

I purchased day old ducklings from TSC yesterday. Pekins and this little one. Does this look like a Golden 300 hybrid? If so, this would be a Drake, correct?

i dont know a lot about ducks, but that sure doesn’t look like a golden 300.

it looks more like a rouen or this one other breed that looks really similar. i forgot what the other one was called.

yep golden 300 drake! too dark to be a rouen/mallard

I had thought maybe Rouen at first as well, but I thought they have more yellow in the chest and underneath rather than the muddled mixed yellowish-white and black hairs on this one) and brighter spotting on the back?

That is what I had thought, that the Rouen would have more, and brighter, yellow on it as compared to this one. Thanks!
