Hello all! I picked up 3 ducklings about a month and a half ago that were supposed to be cayugas but it pretty quickly became clear that they are not! Can anyone tell me what breed I have? Their feathers look like rouens to me, but they don't have markings on their heads like the rouens I've seen in pictures. Also they were solid dark brown as ducklings. Maybe a rouen mix?
This is what they looked like as ducklings (the brown one on the left):
And now at a month and a half old:
For size comparison, they are a bit bigger and heavier than the welsh harlequins that are a few weeks older than them.
Even though they aren't what I was expecting, I'm still really happy with them! I think they are beautiful looking and it's been a fun surprise finding out what they're going to look like as they grow up!
