What breed is my duck ? educated guesses welcome

[J99]

I’d love to have one but I’m afraid they’d bully all my docile breeds

He’s gorgeous I got to see one at a poultry show until you see one in person you just can’t imagine how big they are.

We saw pictures when we research them before we purchased... We were supposed to get pullets, but we ended up with someone's cockerel order. It was no big deal to us because we have plenty of hens and pullets for them both. Seeing pictures and seeing them in real life are two different things. It almost takes your breath away when he comes near you because he's such a gorgeous creature.

They're actually the most calm and docile breed we have. We have Cochin, bantam polish, red sex links, barred rock, and Delaware. He only chases one of the Polish because it teases him. His brother is even more mellow than he is.

They eat a lot and act like big dogs. He follows me everywhere. I sit on the deck and he comes up and lays by me.

I'd never get another rooster breed. I'm thinking about buying him some pullets in the spring so he has girls that are his own size.

Heres a pic from on top of the deck I just took (don't mind the fishing line it's to keep out a hawk, it won't fly in our free range area with it) Thats Ginger shes 10 months old and one of his favorite girls.

He sounds like a sweet rooster. Better be since he’s so huge!!

I got out of standard Chickens. I definitely love Bantam chickens though. I have 12 hens and Pullets. Plus my Cockerel. All docile..

Bantams are nice, only thing I don't like about mine is they can fly over the fence. One flew into the chicken pen yesterday and is impossible to catch. After about 10 hours it remembered how it flew over. I really dislike when people sell chickens that have zero human interaction. It's like owning a wild bird.
