Can anyone tell me what kind of ducklings Holderreads sent me?  I ordered 10 of the Rare Duckling Assortment. They sent 10 plus 2 bonuses.  They are 6 days old.......

 

Holderreads website says

"Rare Duckling Assortment
     A fascinating assortment of ducklings selected from our many rare breeds.  May include any of the following:  Miniature Appleyard, Australian Spotted, Silkie, Dutch Hook Bill, Magpies, Saxony, Silver Appleyard, Welsh Harlequin, and rare colors of Runners"

 

1. She is smaller than the rest of them and is a really pretty blue color!!

2. I think this is a fawn and white Runner.......

5. and 6. I have two of these they look identical to each other but one wouldn't let take the pic. I think they are Dutch Hook Bills!!

Thank you Miss Lydia!!  I'm already in love so it really doesn't matter.  gig.gif  Was just hoping someone might know.  All of them (except the 2 I think are Hook Bills) run around like little runners.  My husband always said the runners looked funny and he wasn't sure he'd like them.  Now though his mind is changing even if he won't admit it!!  lau.gif  You can see the love in his eyes.....   What would be the odds of getting 10 runners and 2 Hook Bills?!!!  lau.gif  HeHeHeHeHeHeHe

11 looks like it could be a trout runner

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Adorable! I really can't tell you what all the breeds are. I think you did get at least 2 hook bills and I think I see a runner or two for sure.

I see blue swedish, f/w runner, khaki campbell maybe? , a possible buff, the black and white could be an off colored magpie or black swede ( im leaning towards swede). as for the others ive been kept away from the duckie world so long im not sure.
