Breed ID please - new baby ducks

Date sort Score sort
Oh they're cute! :D The black and white (yellow, whatever. =P) looks like a magpie to me, but to be fair I don't know much about duck breeds. I duckysat some baby magpies not too long ago for a friend, and that's what they looked like, except without the tuft of fuzz. :) I have some baby muscovies due to hatch on the 23rd, so I'm getting my duckling fix. ;) Congrats on your beautiful babies.
 
Looks to me like the black one is Crested Ancona, and the yellow one is Pekin or White Buff, a cross beetween a pekin and a buff duck.
 
It's not a Pekin, there was one of those in the bin as well, also crested.

The light one stands kind of upright, not like a SQ runner of course but like a 'pet quality' one probably? it has light beige-y markings on it's face and it's back is the same color.
 
They look like barnyard mixes to me. Not all feed stores buy from the hatchery. Those ducklings could have come from a local person who sold ducklings from a mixed flock to the feed store.
