What breed

[lifeonmarz]

I have two ducks I bought from the feed store. One is definetly a Khaki Campbell duck. The other one was listed as a buff orington but they are now 7 weeks and almost fully feathered and she is still all white. I'm doubting that maybe she is a pekin. Has anyone else experienced this. When has their Buffs changed in color? She is all white with a clean orange duck bill.

P.s. the top pic is when they are about 5 weeks. The one by the pond shows them older. They're more independent so not the greatest of pics.

She actually does look like a Pekin to me. My Buff started out pretty light colored, although she was never pure white. Her feathers started to show that wonderful rich buff at about slightly over 3 months of age, and she has since then matured beautifully.

Here she is at approximately a month old.


Here she is at 3 months and 4 days.


And, finally, here she is at 3 months and 15 days.

Yes yours definetly has some color to her. She's a cute one. I was hoping for a pekin originally so I don't mind. I know she's female by her quack. Both her and the khaki "chat" when I'm around. The only time I notice change in color is only when she's wet but other than that she is pure white. I also noticed she is large for only being two months old. Pekin grow fast and get big and I was a ked if she was actually a goose by how large she grew.

I'm so glad that you're not terribly disappointed; although I don't have a Pekin, I've heard that they make wonderful pets. Yours is absolutely adorable, by the way! Enjoy your ducks.
