Breed Help?

[indiefoxfarm]

We just picked up some ducks to add to our flock to even out the genders (had 1 female and 2 male Rouens and got 4 more females). They are supposedly Rouens but obviously aren't. It doesn't matter to us but I was curious what they might be? It looked like she had a Rouen female and at least one Indian Runner male - maybe a cross between those 2? It sounds like her females could have been bred by the neighbor's ducks as well and I didn't see them so no idea what they have.

can you post pics of just the “girls” without the boys? i think they might’ve gave u a drake

I see two rouens for sure

Sorry, I should have specified that the two Rouen drakes in the pic are the ones we already had. Each of the new girls quacked loudly as we loaded them up so I feel confident they're not drakes. I'll try to get some better pics of just the new girls, they're pretty skittish. They look very different from our Rouen female, they're a lighter brown, stand more upright, and their face stripes are much lighter and one doesn't seem to have any.

I think they might be khakis

Look like Rouen runner crosses to me.

Thanks for the input!

You're welcome. I love runner crosses and have several. They should be good egg layers.
