So gonna post again now that they're larger and see if anyone has any guesses. I got some pictures while they were splashing around in the tub ☺️. Excuse the weird light from my bathroom. It makes them look very pink! They're only 3 1/2 weeks old but /very/ big and heavy. The 1 duckling is stark white, much whiter then it's sibling. They both started getting feathers in on their butts and wings which are also white. Thanks in advance!

I am in no means a duck expert, but I don't think White Mallards are typically easy to acquire or at hatcheries. Mallards are also quite small compared to many duck breeds and are considered bantams. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I would definitely lean towards other possibilities. Where are they from? Could they be Duclairs? They're a white breed that comes from green eggs. The problem is they're smaller than Pekins, but obviously much larger than bantam breeds. I'm not great at judging size on ducks, but they look big to me.
