A few quick questions

[chics in the sun]

Hi- I got five ducklings from a lady with the intention of selling them for her at my swap tomorrow, but I'm not sure what they are. Her friend hatched them, and didn't know what she was hatching. Also, the lows tonight are in the mid-60s. The are in a wire bottom cage outdoors with a towel and hay - will that be okay, or should I cover them up or bring them in. They are SOOOO CUTE! If you know what kind they are, please let me know so I can tell folks at the swap tomorrow. Thanks!

With their coloration/markings they resemble a Rouen or Mallard.

Looking at the bill and the length of the body- a few of them look like Muscovies to me. Good luck with them tomorrow. I recently had a similar situation where I had to take someone else ducks to a sale. They were cross breed ducks- and sold better than anything else purebred on the day due to their gorgeous colouring.

Yes, definitely muscovy, look at the bills and tails.
