Can you ID this duckling?

[Chickenraiser1995]

I bought a trio of ducklings from TSC about 2 weeks ago. No clue what they could be. It was a variety bin and all the ducklings were yellow. They all have the start of feathers coming in. Two have white feathers coming in- I’m sure they’re Pekin. The dark billed baby is the one I’m curious about. It’s feathers are coming in buff. I’ve been told on Facebook that it could be a white layer, a Pekin, or a Saxony. I’ve only had Pekin and Muscovy ducks before now. I could just wait until all the feathers come in but I want to see what others think!

Could be a little Buff Orpington. Sweet babies

x2 on @Miss Lydia's post - that one looks a lot like the ducklings I got at TSC, too. There are some images I found helpful for ID here. The mauve-colored bill was a tip-off for me.

I’m thinking Saxony with those distinct eye stripes. Could be a buff though.

Not intending to hijack this thread, but now I'm second-guessing my ID [ignore the crustiness of the brooder and the off color from the heat lamp] - the larger duck in the foreground is one of my suspected Buffs. Am I the only one who now sees eye stripes, though?

Honestly, Buff or another breed, I'd still be happy.

Still on this train of thought...all, doesn't the drake in this Buff breed review look like it may actually be a Saxony, rather than an incorrectly marked Buff?

It appears that it might be.

Agree, Buff Orpington. Your two "Pekins" could also be White Layers, their bills are more pinkish, flesh-colored and not orange. - Could be the picture though.
And yes sweet babies! - Enjoy while it lasts…

They’re getting bigger! She has darker brown feathers coming in on her tail now.

I think it is adorable ... whatever it is
