Any ideas on the breed?

sorry the photos are so dark. The duckling is pretty dark color and it's hard to get a good shot.

It's hard to tell in the pictures, but I'd say Khaki Campbell???

I don't know about that, if you look close its black and yellow kind of and it has eye stripes, maybe rouen?

Hmmm, there are eyestripes, aren't there? When I read "pretty dark color" and saw black legs/bill I immediately thought Campbell.

Well...Rouen or Mallard are the best bets then - although I have seen some hatchery Campbells that had the wild-type eyestripes (they were probably accidentally crossed with Mallards or Rouens at some point), so you never know.

Which brings up another good point - it could be mixed.

EDIT - Well, I was flummoxed, so I did a little more research. Could it be a Golden 300 hybrid? Here's a link to the Metzer Farms pictures of Golden 300 ducklings - they're varying shades of brown, and most have eyestripes: http://www.metzerfarms.com/BreedPics/Golden300Baby.jpg

I'd say Mallard like mallards are a bit more black..... I'd say a wild-typed colored breed. whats a snowy mallard baby look like?? Would it be too brown to be a snowy mallard

She looks alot like the darker one on the lower photo all the way to the right.

its a mallard or campbell type duckling. It is not snowy... Snowy left Grey on right, both mallards.

I took some better photos in hope that that may help:

Looks like a grey call duck, maybe mallard.
