A Thruple of ducks

The white is Pekín, the mallard looking one is probably a drake Rouen(I have some that just started to get their gray feathers), and honestly I’m not sure for the black spotted one. I have never heard of a Cayuga turning white, and it doesn’t have the sheen. I don’t think Ancona becaus they are usually mostly white. Maybe a mix of something? Blue Swedish are more gray than black and have defined chests. Yours is probably a mix of something.
This photo is of a blue Swedish, so I don’t think your is.
Yes Cayuga do turn white
@shawluvsbirds has this breed.
Oh, okay. I have never heard of that🤷‍♀️ but I also have never had them. Thanks for correcting me so I don’t keep misinforming people 😅

This photo is of a blue Swedish, so I don’t think your is. And he doesn’t really stand like a runner so probably not one.
Yeah mine were blue Swedish from ideal poultry. They didn't have the proper amount of white on their chest or wings to be show quality. But I ended up liking their self color, personality, health, foraging ability, eggs Etc. Anyway they do the same thing as the OPs bird here, where they have white feathers pop up here and there. They might be growing back white feathers that they are losing which is strange? I have some predator pressure here so unfortunately mine are all under 3 years old.
 
Black ducks turn white as they age :) Possibly a Cayuga or a hatchery quality Runner that's getting white as she ages.
Then I bet that is what it is, a hatchery Runner. The op said it never stood up like a regular Runner but they ordered it as a Runner. Do hatcheries sometimes get mixed breeds?

So maybe a black Swedish with nonstandard markings? Or a Cayuga turning white?

Yeay!! In the meantime I add my water outside one of the wire fence areas. This might keep the pen better for you. None of my ducks have chosen to go to the pond in awhile. I run the hose for them if it doesn't rain. Dry ducks are neater. Maybe my hens that were raised with the poultry keep the flock chill. A few hens keep ducks from sins. It could become a new saying. Good luck with them and do enjoy them before you have to part ways! As far as my pics, my CPGs, but predators have been brutal so 1 left, and didnt they use to be so cute?
What are the white ducks/idk maybe a goose you show in that photo? They are so pretty 😍
 
He’s gorgeous! I wanted Swedish but they are not available to me.
Thank you
My friend breads them
I got a female splash as well
One of her Swedish is running another gene and somehow we ended up with a buff and one of my drakes has buff colouring
One of my other girls doesn’t look Swedish at all but they all came from the same group
She doesn’t have any buff ducks
