Anyone care to guess what he/she is?

Actually 2 but I suspect despite the Crest they might be similar?

 

We call this 2 week old duckling Boo.

Another angle.

And here is her buddy MoMo. They REALLY like each other:

These 2 also have the sneezes and are sharing a brooder together to keep them away from the others. The are eating and drinking fabulously though. Picking up some Brewer's yeast asap and giving the electrolyte water mix. Hope no one else gets it.

 

But back to why I posted. I can not figure out for the life of me what these 2 might be! :\

Just because of love my Pekins so much:

It's the markings on their face that throws me- they both have grayish colored eye masks. The crested one has a pink/gray bill with black dots at the base. The one without the crest as a more pronounced eye mask, a more beigy- color mixed in with the yellow and her beak is flat out gray.

Did you get them from a breeder or feed store?

I would guess hatchery quality buff and created buff. They may or may not look like a true buff when they grow out though.

My guess too

Owned By: 2 Pekin girls (Ming Ming and Giggles), a Saxony girl (Suzie), 3 Muscovies (Eeyore, Ellie and Eliza), Flemish Giant rabbits, a potbelly pig, chickens, 2 boer goats, and soon to be mom of a pair of bronze turkeys
