Do apple yards have black and orange legs & feet and spotted bills like this guy has?

In some cases, They have black bills or dark brown bills But now That I've looked at some pictures, It looks like he's a magpie! Probably not an Appleyard.. Sad..

That’s ok, doesn’t really matter what he is. We’ll keep him. I just like to know what I’ve got!

Heres a picture of a young magpie duckling that looks like him!

That’s why I was thinking magpie or anacona. I’ve found pics of both that look like him. I just don’t know how to tell the difference between the two.

Magpies can have black bills, while Anaconas barely can even get black bills some can, But it's not as common as yellow and orange, Anacondas also get black spots on their sides and magpies majority of the time get it on their wings and back this is a picture I found on google of an anacona

No, they do not. He looks like a Magpie or Ancona to me (I am bad at telling those two apart), or a mix.

My thoughts too, thanks for the input!

I would say Ancona or Magpie also.

that would be a magpie! magpies colors are symmetrical anconas are not (not saying one duckling out of 10 may get lucky)
