What kind of duck?

[Bmb]

We were given a single rescue duckling that someone found on the road. (Currently on the hunt for duckling friends!) I’m not sure on age. Anyone have any idea what kind of duck it is? Thank you!

It sure is adorable hard to tell breed though.

What a cute duckling. You can get other breeds of ducks to be ducky friends; the friends do not need to be the same as your rescue.

I am thinking it might be a white Muscovy.

I agree Muscovy most likely some sort of French white based off of the head spot and rest of the body appearing to be white. If you zoom in you can see the early start of it's caruncles.

Oh, sorry, got carried away there. Or should that be I need to get carried away (by the men in white coats)

Any thoughts on male or female? Still no idea on age!
