Breed Identification?

[HomesteaderWife]

Hey wonderful BYC crowd- I'm new to ducks, but we just picked up our first pair at the auction tonight. I hate to say that the guy didn't know what breed they are (yikes) but we couldn't pass up the offer on these two beauties. Does anyone have an idea as I what breed they might be? Thank you so much for any help!

This is me just taking a guess, but the faces kind of look like runner ducks to me

Thanks for your reply marcelineduckie! I was guessing chocolate runner from the photos I looked up and the coloring but wasn't sure because as I said I don't know much about ducks. That is my best friends department lol, but she lives about 6 hours away now!

Aweh that sucks I bet she can't wait to visit you and your ducks! I have a chocolate indian runner and the one on the right is giving the same look she gives me. So I'd say your guess is pretty solid

Also you got a real good bread, they don't eat as much as bigger ducks do, the are excellent at ridding your home of bugs they love slugs and they walk so cute like little skinny peguins. Mine is still young almost 3 weeks but she is quieter than my pekin

My friend saw a photo and suggested Khakis. Any suggestions or input on that?

Marcelineduckie may be right about runners. Post more pics as they grow so fast!

 

[marcelineduckie]

Yeah maybe, I've never had khakis but I'm still guessing runner. Definitely more pictures would help

Oops! Accidentally posted same thing twice. I think one of my ducks is a khaki. She 11 weeks old.

Aweh how cute! Yeah I can see that, that's not the little.ones is it?! Khaki or Rouen maybe
