What kind of duckling do I have?

[brandiwine]

I got this duckling about a week ago. I'm not sure what breed, gender, or age it is. Can anyone tell me any of this? All input is much appreciated. Thanks!
It's about 10.5 inches long, and I read on another site that if the tail feathers flip upward at the end then it might be a male. Has anyone else found this to be true?

All I can tell you is its ADORABLE, and you might get more replies if you post this in the duck section

hmm it kinda looks like a baby pekin duck but the grey is a little odd. so all i know at this point is that you have a very adorable duckling!

The curled tail feather clue for drakes is when they are fully feathered and mature.... Not as ducklings. It takes a while for the "drake curl" to grow.

Looks like an ancona or call duck with the same pattern that an ancona has because the beak looks sort of short.

it has to be an ancona duckling!
