I looked around pics posted here and found this thread
https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=276607&p=1
but is it possible to get a mixed breed if they come from a hatchery originally? I know the feed store orders them somewhere, just can't remember where...

The 2 look like mallard's to me.However other duckling's can have can same coloration as babie's.Maybe rouen? anyone can chime in. They are cute.I got 19 mallard's 6 pekin and 2 cayuga and 2 adult mallard drakes and I swore I wasn't going above 14 duck's this year baaaaaa.

At first I thought I was getting black swedes but now I'm not sure... if I don't figure it out I guess I can always go back and ask the feed store folks what hatchery they use...

Anyone?

My initial guess was fawn runner and black swedish... Guess we'll have to see how they develop.
