Buff. Buffs have pink bills and Pekins have orange bills.

I’ve had both violin player. One Pekin had a pink bill and one had a orange bill. Both were very much Pekins. Even had one Pekin go from orange to pink then back to orange. I don’t think the bill color for Pekins are a sure thing. But I didn’t know about the bill color of buffs, that’s interesting.

Interesing...In this case, the ducklings down color more resembles a Buff IMO, but I will keep that in mind from now on when identifying ducklings.

I have seen the buff ducklings online but never in person. And you are right. They look almost the same sometimes if not indistinguishable.
