Cant figure out what our 'premium' ducks from tractor supply are.

[EEELLLBBB]

We bought 3 'premium' ducks from Tractor Supply. They were more expensive, but they had no idea what they actually were. They're all around 12 weeks old.

Theodore ^^^. She makes a high pitch squeak sound and waddles like a regular duck.

Simon ^^^ She stands up right like an Indian runner and has a long neck. Doesn't waddle. Normal deep quack.

Alvin ^^^ She (also) stands up right like an Indian runner and has a long neck. Doesn't waddle. Normal deep quack (she quacks *a lot* and it is *very loud*.)

We suspect Alvin and Simon are indian runners, but aren't 100% sure. However, we are utterly lost on Theodore.

@cheezenkwackers are you able to help identify the silver

I’ll give a guess on Theodore and say she’s an unusually white Welsh Harlequin. But hopefully a duck expert unravels the mystery for you!

That was one we considered, ha ha! But got stuck up on the 'unusually white' part

I once hatched a duck from a Saxony drake and Silver Appleyard duck that came out pure white. You would have thought she was a mini Pekin or something. Here she is with her brother from the same parents.

Can you post pictures of your ducks standing? It would thus be easier to determine their breed...!

Theodore looks like a (White) Forest Duck.

Search for "Canard de Forest" on Google Image : there are several pictures...!

Or... :

Being it is from Tractor Supply it is possibly a silver runner or silver swedish.

Finally took some pics of 'em! Sorry if they're not the best.

They look like Runners, though Theodore seem thicker (neck) than she should be...
...Not even sure Alvin is purebred : she looks stubby (lower half) - kind of...?

Of course : they could look like it due to the pictures - hard to see!

Are "Premium ducks" supposed to be purebred? I am not familiar with Tractor Supply...

In any case, your girls are beautiful!
(Especially Theodore; ah, ah!!)
