What type of duck do I have?

[Napoleon&Francois]

We think she is a Swedish blue since she had a big patch of white on her chest initially but it has now faded to just dots of white. Her feet where all black but are now dark orange with black patches. We also thought she may be an Orpington since she got 2 small brown feathers on her back. she is only 4 months old. What do you guys think she is?

The stance has me thinking your duck may be an Indian Runner cross. Also I am not certain that it is a hen.

Agree with above, runner! Could be a cross or just a production runner.
Hard to tell color in pic. If brown in person then she's a chocolate. If grey then shes a blue

Does not look anything like my blue swedish ducks. I would say runner cross

Hi, welcome to BYC!

Stance and size says runner and color says cross... to me. I think the tail would have more of a curl if it were a drake. But I'm still learning to.

Thank you! Someone told me only female ducks make a quack sound and Francois quacks all day..a little too much lol

She needs a friend. She is lonely. and also very pretty.

We live in a city but we found the two ducks around easter at a park. This park has no wildlife except for pigeons since there is no lake or anything only when it rains, the water creates a small pond. They were left there after an easter party by some people, we saw the ducks and took them to a shelter but they said they couldn't take them so we kept them and decided we would give them to a farm when they grew a bit more. Unfortunately now we only have Francois, and I'm with her 24/7 since my husband, the one in the pic, works. I stay with him and take him to the park.

My Runners have times of quacking pretty loud thankfully we don't have close neighbors. lol

That is awesome you gave the ducklings a safe home.

Don't you worry a dog or another predator will get Francois when you take him to the park?
