Hello, everyone. I have kind of a strange question, and I’m not sure how to word it, so please bare with me. I had two pairs of ducks. A male and female mallard (domestic), and a male and female buff. My female buff died a few months ago, so the male buff, and male and female mallards were left. I saw both males (buff and mallard) mate with the female (mallard) at different times. Last week she successfully hatched three babies. My question is: is it possible for different babies from the same clutch to have different dads? I hope that makes sense. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
What do the babies look like?

These are her babies. I'm devastated that the one on the bottom did not make it. The one on the top, I had to separate from her, because she was plucking its feathers out. (It's doing well, and eating well now.) And the baby in the middle is doing fine with mom.
