WHAT IS MY DUCK????

[Quatie]

If it is a drake, it can't live with chickens. The drake can mate the chicken hens and potentially hurt or even kill them because ducks have a penis and chickens don't. You can tell if it is a drake or hen by sound.

Ducks are super social animals and really do better with another duck.

Found out my duck is a girl...how? She is bowing to mate with me....that's how I found out

I was going to say a green head means drake for sure. So.... never mind.

Is she quacking? that would be another affirmative.

View attachment 3231613honestly idk if my duck is a girl or boy, and idk the breed of duck it is. Please help me

Looks like a cross breed in my opinion. Probably Pekin x Campbell or something like that. Swedish don't have spotted feet like that from what I can remember. My very first duck 20+ years ago was a purebred Blue Swedish. Sometimes drakes don't get tail curls until they are closer to a year in age and occasionally female ducks WILL get tail curls. Best way to sex ducks is by their voice. If you hear a loud, sharp "quack" sound then she's a girl. If it's a raspy quack or a soft squeaky voice then it's a boy. Good luck

If the seller didn't know breed it is likely a mix. Ducks who cross give a variety of looks.
