Breed?

[lazytrucker]

My story is very similar so I'm not sure if I should start a new thread. Just adopted 3 ducks and I'm trying to identify the breeds so I have an idea what to expect. Would love to let one hatch but I

[/IMG]know nothing..

Here's a pic with all three. I was told the (Rouen? Welch Harlequiin?) was a drake, that the white (Pekin? Aylesbury?)and black (black runner?)

were the hens

How old are they? The Rouen looking one has a green bill that makes me think Drake. But you never know. Females quack loudly drakes make hoarse raspy noises.

Pekin, Rouen drake, Runner. Not sure of the genders of 1 & 3, but the Rouen is a drake.

Thanks so much! Hoped I was close. If I understand what I've been reading I probably have two good laying hens but neither one tending to be good at actually setting on a nest?

The previous owner said The black ducks were a year old this spring. The white duck is 2-3 years old.
