What breed of duckling is this?

[Crazykitten]

So this is a little rescue case I recently took on. Any ideas on the little fellas breed?

It may be too early to tell, as there are no feathers just down.
We have some real experts around here on ducks, so dont worry. But you may have to wait for your answer.

Where did you rescue it from?

Preschool hatching program, they "helped it" out of its egg. This guy and another were having seizures and just not doing well at all, this guy has come so far! But the other one didn't make it

I understand the need to teach kids about this, but I'm sure there's a better way.

(They don't know the breed either)

It could very well be a Khaki Campbell.

It could very well be a Khaki Campbell.

That would be my guess, or a male Welsh Harlequin. Males have dark beaks and females have pink ones in the days after hatching. These are my Welsh females at a week old:

That was my second guess but I don’t have any experience with them. Although they are beautiful.

That's what I was thinking but I'm just not sure. He's a little ball of attitude and I've definately been adopted by him (or her)

Or a Golden 300 Hybrid.

Who wouldn’t want to snuggle that little cute puff ball??
