No clue; but the Holderred Waterfowl Farm and Preservation Center has lots of pictures that might help. They have just about every breed of waterfowl that is in the US.

You have a Khaki Campbell drake (the brown one) and a couple of Gold Welsh Harlequin hens (white with lighter brown markings and shaded heads) in addition to the Pekin(s) (solid white).

YAY! thanks so much i thought they were cross breeds or something!!!

Does anyone know about how long untill they lay eggs, and do they set good ?

Welsh Harlequins are excellent layers and start popping out eggs around 6 months old. Mine usually take December and January off, but lay almost an egg a day other than that. WH are also good broodies...usually best when they are about 2 or older. One of my WH hatched a clutch this spring but it was her first time and she was barely a year old. She didn't really get the hang of rotating the eggs so it was a weird, staggered hatch and we only got 4 ducklings out of it. I am going to let her try again next spring and see if she does better.

I have never had a duck to lay an egg or anything or set so i really dont know what they do...i have them a "nest box" but ive read that they dont need it and may not even use it... so if anyone has any info on anything that would be great

I have a few plastic dog houses in the run. Usually they lay in those. Sometimes I find random eggs laying on the ground

I had a duck lay he eggs and go broody inside a garbage can turned on its side.
