New Ducks, help ID

[pauleberly]

So someone dropped off 3 ducks on my door step... I guess we are that neighbor now lol. Anyways, Anyone have any idea what breed they are. I thought the two were a pekin and the one with a dark bill / line around eyes was maybe a welsh. Thanks in advance!!!

I have no idea what kind they are, but I sure wish somebody would drop off some ducklings on my door step. I get cats and dogs, but no ducks.

I'm almost positive it is, from top to bottom, Whelsh harlequin, Fawn and white runner, and Buff.

Yep thats what i did. My husband thought i was crazy. But every single day since they arrived i have spent time sitting with them. Usually an hour in the evenings. But now that they are without a heat lamp i usually do it during the daylight now. But i hand feed treats and sit on the ground so they can come to me. They really like people.

They follow us all over the yard too

I also thraw frozen peas and feed them those for treats too. The first week those kinda need squished too. And they love grass

I think the dark one looks a lot like my Welsh Harlequin ducklings.

Yeah I am thinking you are right, here are some new pictures

Here they are







I am not sure what that black feathered one is, I am thinking it is not a runner tho. They did have a blast in the grass with a small bowl of water to splash around in. They did not really forage well, but they are extremely skittish still. I might throw them some worms?

Lol i wish someone would drop me off ducklings too

The last one looks exaclty like my buff duckling last year
The first and second im not positive tho...
Maybe all 3 are buff ducklings?

Well, I did not realize that I was THAT neighbor that it was ok to drop random animals off at my house lol I was hoping they were pekin, but that dark billed one I am just not sure about. They stand up tall like Indian Runners, but I did not think they were it
