Duck breeds?

[Miss Lydia]

So ladies do you think that duckling could be Magpie? Amazing if a feed store had them.

Rouens have 2 eye strips and yes they can sell domestic mallards look at your duckling does it have a toe missing or a hole punch in it's web by chance?

I’ll check in a lil bit and let you know

Ok the mallard looking one has all of its toes and I do not see any holes or notches or anything on its feet. The place I got them is animals and gardens unlimited formerly Agway in new Egypt nj

I’m not super familiar with rouens, however I have had a lot of cayugas and haven’t ever had any ducklings that weren’t all black. I think a little bleeding of lighter color may be normal, but that much lighter color doesn’t look like a Cayuga to me.

Either way- congrats on your new babies! So precious and cute!!!

Possible a Magpie duckling on the one

and the other looks to be Mallard since only 1 eye stripe.

So adorable oh and your not going to separate these babies from each other I hope? they really need the company of each other[ flock animals]

The one in the first picture might be a black swedish, pretty much all black with a yellow (soon to be white) bib and not really any other markings.

That’s what I thought!! I know no feed store around here has them and very few hatcheries carry them. If it isn’t a magpie what other breed does it favor?

Does it seem to be around the same size as the others, or smaller?

THere was one that was the same size there but I grabbed the smaller one. So this one is smaller than my other 2
