HELP! i dont know what breedmy duck is
« on: August 28, 2011, 13:53 »
i bought a duck off a breeder a few months ago and got told he was a miniture appleyard duck.
i called a different breeder to buy a new duck for him to have a mate, and i described the duck to him he said it wasnt that breed. when i told him the breeders name from who i bought it off he said he has had a lot of people who have bought ducks off him and not been happy (when i bought him he had a snotty bill and i had to monitor him and he also had a fit, but he is healthy now)

iv looked at loads of breeds of duck an he looks nothing like him :(

please please help!

thanks

looks like he looks like a mallard cross to me but I could be wrong  :unsure:
Staffies are softer than you think.

Well you are right that he is certainly not an Appleyard. I suspect he is a hybrid although hard to tell from the little pic. Kind of looks a little like a dark Campbell.

How old and how large is he? They do change into nuptial plummage when they are about 24 weeks old (although he still definately isn't an Appleyard).
Be like a duck. Calm on the surface but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
