I'm a newbie to BYC and cannot start a post, so was wondering if anyone could tell me if 2 of these babies are Harlequin's? In the 1st picture, they are the 2 smallest, in the 2nd one is sorta hiding but the other is front left, and in the 3rd, they are the 2 lightest babies.. all pictures are of the same 2 ducklings, just over the last month or so.. I got them from a tub of mixed breeds, and when I looked up the hatchery they came from, Welsh were the only ones they resembled but we all know how that works..lol.. they were just different from everyone else, so I got them ;) Same with the black Swedish baby..

Edited to add: in the 1st pic, all these ducklings are the same age, maybe 1 or 2 days difference at most, so whatever breed, they're smaller than Swedish and whatever the others are (bought as Khaki Campbell but who knows)

They look like WH to me.
 
Thanks :) I am a chicken girl myself, but have 2 rouen boys that have been bachelor's for a year..figured this spring I'd get them some buddies.. like I said, I picked them out by they looked 'different' than all the other babies.. but once I started researching to see if I could determine breed and saw the resemblance I thought so too.. really hope they are because 1. They are GORGEOUS birds and 2. What a steal, finding them in a bin at Tractor Supply.. I think the hatchery was Hoover Hatchery??? I'll have to double check that, but out of all their breeds, that's about the only thing they could be unless they have a crossed breed pen..

ETA: They did come from Hoover Hatchery
