    Help me identify these ducklings??

    thanks guys, I got them at the local Orscheln's store. I just can't resist, I always say "I have a lake, so why not?" My crested pekins from last year are toooooo cute out there, no babies so i suppose they r the same gender.

    Help me identify these ducklings??

    I didn't think pekins had the grey on them, does that indicate a gender? I have 2 ccrested pekins and they were all yellow when they were ducklings. The blue/grey one does stand very high, so the makes sense if he/she is a runner!
