I bought the eggs on eBay they were listed as Aylesbury. However apart from their light bills (in real life the bills are lighter than in the photo) they don’t have the weight or look of the Aylesbury. I have since been told they are commercial by someone and not Aylesbury. But upon looking, commercial birds have orange bills. Any help would be appreciated.
 
How old are these ducks? If they are young they could be Aylesbury. Or maybe Aylesbury crosses. They don't resemble Pekins to me, and I can't think of any other breed with pinkish bills and that sort of body conformation.
 
Hello all, its been a long time since I posted on here. But... recently I ordered Pekin ducks from a hatchery here in the U.S. out of the six that survived the trip (its a long story so please dont ask) two of them have lite pinkish bills. And two also have crest on their heads, so my opinion is that there seems that there maybe crossbreeding going on in the Pekin World. As we know Aylesburys have a pinkish bill. And of course in order to get the crest you have to have a parent that is crested. I know I didnt really answer your question but IMO thats most likely whats going on.
