What breed is my duck ? educated guesses welcome

[FortCluck]

I don't know how old they are and neither did the person who sold them to me. He had received them as a trade and he was keeping some and selling some.

He said that they were bantams because they weren't growing and he had them for about a month and they have not grown any since they've been at my house for a month.

Wowwwww He’s beautiful and huge Lolol

He is definitely a beast! The other night my husband was putting away the chickens early because we were going to get a storm and I didn't want them to be stuck out in this massive thunderstorm. He went out there and my Delaware chicken decided she wasn't going to go in so he went to go nudge her in, squatch came from out of the darkness and attacked my husband's hand He said it was something that you would see in a horror movie because all it was was blackness and he didn't even see him coming.

squatch and I have a very good relationship, but my husband and him not so much

Think they told me mine are bantam golden laced polish, but they guess which were pullets so no clue. All I know is they really make my squatch angry he chases them but can never catch them. He's a Jersey Giant that's 2 feet tall and 10 lbs at 4 months.

Wow he is big!

I am also like you and try to get the animals that need help... except instead of finding them they have been finding me.

I have a disabled duckling and a cured bad leg duckling. We have dogs that have disabilities and health issues as well, all receive treatment and are living happily without being euthanized by their previous owners.

Wow he is big!

You should hear him run across the yard... It sounds like a raptor. He jumps down the stairs and its so loud.

Jersey Giants are the great Dane of the Chicken world. They're so gentle and kind. They're also very goofy.

And look how light yours are than say mine. they are gorgeous @quackiemama Love how they can come in dark fawn to very light fawn.

Thank you, all 3 of mine are different. Ginger of course has her extra fluff on the back of her neck, MaryAnn has a very dark bill and Lovey is and always has been more pale but each come with their own silly personalities. I love them so much

I have 3 Speckled Sussex Pullets and so huge! I’ve never seen them this huge ever!
Must be meat bird stock and not egg layer stock.

I'm actually going to breed him with my red sex links, Delaware, and barred Rock to get dual purpose chicks. I want to see what they'll look like.

His feet are probably 3/4 the size of my hand. It's insane. I want to pick him up but he leaves holes in skin... Just ask my husband

I definitely will always keep his legacy going because he's the biggest 4 month old chicken I've ever seen. I knew that Jersey Giants get big, but I didn't know they get that big that early. They say that they grow until they're two years old.
