Very pretty duck!

Is it young? Is it possible that the coloring is a part of it's maturing process? I don't know anything about ducks, but that's my guess.

I was thinking that too, the duck is about 3 months old, but the first picture the duck looks like a female, because it doesnt have a shiny head, but then in the last pictures, it looks like a male, because of the shiny head, i dont know, sex change?? Lol, I have had ducks forever, and never had this problem before!!

BTW, duck pictures in Pet General

I thought mallards were supposed to do that. I don't know that much about ducks, though, but, I thought they started out like that...and, the males changed to the more colorful feathers...and, the females stayed pretty close to the brown feathers. How old is he? I love the drakes, they are so gorgeous!
