Not familiar with the dark breed, but the yellow duckling is probably a Pekin.  They way I was taught to sex young ducklings is to listen to them when they freak out over something (but please don't freak out the darlings on...

My khakis lay pure white eggs and my muscovies lay pale green eggs or white with pale greenish speckles all over.  I've never had any other breeds so sorry I can't really help there.

I live in Los Angeles County and I'm looking for one or two sexually mature Khaki Campbell males to increase the gene pool of my flock.  I might also be interested in an egg-laying female Khaki, but I'm mostly looking for...

Do you mean, is it "dead" and will not hatch?  If you want to know if a cracked egg will hatch or if it is dead I have heard of people using candle wax or other things to try and seal up a cracked egg they are incubating.  It...
