My guess is they're likely all runners. Pretty Runners too. 

You might have noticed, I'm not all there myself.

Thank you!!  It's so funny because when I ordered them my hubby said "I really hope you don't get any runners!!!"  lau.gif Now that we have them he loves them.  love.gif  It just goes to show that it was meant to be. They are so great to just sit back and watch while they do their little dances. bun.gif I secretly wanted them the whole time. Shhhh!!!! gig.gif

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!!  Blue runner (I ordered some of these)

2. I think this is a fawn and white Runner....... Fawn & white :-)

450

 

3.

4. Dutch hook bill. (Got some of these too and LOVE them!)

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!!

Cayuga or black runner depending if it stands tall.. If not then Cayuga
