looks like a mallard duck to me! my cat brought a 3 day old one in and i reared him till he was 15 weeks old and he looked just like that! I took him to a wildlife centre to live with other ducks though because he imprinted me and thought i was mum and wasn't doing duck things lol. Heres a pic of him when he was 2 weeks old and a picture of a mallard duck you can compare yours with!





He used to have his own box with a litter tray inside for him to swim in and a stone in the middle so he had something to climb onto, a box with mud and grass in he used to have so much fun in it! Also he loved meal worms

Good Luck and have fun with your duck!!

Hi

Looks like he might be a Khaki campbell, although looks like he is a she.

Does s/he quack loud or quiet?

Khaki campbells are very good for laying eggs and do look similar to your wild mallard duck.

Who gave you the duck?

I own 2 Khaki Campbells myself and would agree this is a Khaki Campbell. I would also agree this is a female. Hope that helped you.

sorry in the delay in answering thank you for the information i will pass it on the duck has a loud quack
