What breed is my ducky?

@doge084 how old is this duck?

It’s about a month old I got it in march

Do you think they are like a mix of two different ducks?

Let me preface by saying this is only a guess, but I think it's a blue runner. I am not familiar with breeds of ducks other than the ones that I own and sadly I don't have any runners, yet. The experts will know and the other member that's posting may be an expert as well.

I got two from tsc that look like this. I think they are Blue Swedish. One is crested! And i read the males have darker beaks like yours. I am new to ducks though, so who knows?!

I’m new to ducks too so it may be male you think?

From my experience the beaks will change color when they start becoming mature. When exactly probably depends on the breed, I know my kahki drakes beaks changed after they were fully feathered and had their drake feathers

I got two khaki ducks and they are all feathered out can you tell me other ways to tell their gender?

It's probably a Swedish Blue Bibbed. Sometimes they have more white leakage on the head and back of neck.

They are from Hoover’s hatchery, I don’t think anything they have is really pure bred, and they don’t really pay attention to birds throwing mutations or non breed standard chicks. I have a kahki with a small crest (my pfp). That’s not something bred for nor is it standard.

One of my Swedish Blue Bibbed from McMurray Hatchery looked like this.
