more images of my duck to help me find out her breed

My gut feeling (no expert) is Pekin x Muscovy.

I have Peking and one of the hatchlings this year has 5 black tail feathers! Thought Peking were all white. But not always. So cute though. Nice duck you have.

Has the cronkles starting deffinetly has Scovy going on

 

[deedeetheduck]

i dont understand what you mean , is cronkles the red bumps on the face? if so what age does that start? and what is scovy? Thanks

It's an odd word, and I think, though it is pronounced something like cronkles, you can search for it online as caruncles. It's the red skin around the face of Muscovy ducks. Muscovies are a different kind of duck, not closely related to the mallard-derived ducks, which is all the rest of them!

If a mallard-derived duck (like Pekin) breeds with a Muscovy, the offspring cannot produce viable offspring. They can lay eggs, but won't develop properly. Like horses and donkeys produce mules.

X2 what Amiga said, yes the red raised area around the top of the bill. Very normal for scovies, and will get redder with time.

Carnicles I think is the word your looking for probably spelled wrong by me.
