I'm no expert by far, but they do stand up like runners.

And her is the 3rd sibling who came out a complete different couler to the other 2..I only incubated 3 eggs and these are the 3 ducklings I’m confused View attachment 2577648

They are all beautiful babies!!

Yes, the hybrids don't develop the red caruncles, she looks like a msycovy hybrid to me. Muscovy ducks and ducklings come in many different colors so I think most likely all 3 of the ducklings are also muscovy hybrid. Musvovy hybrids are infertile and cannot have any babies so you will not be able to further breed them if that is what they end up being.

So you think I could have mallard father and the babies are from the small black female? Only reason I think the mallard is the father is because he was the only one I seen doing the deed with her and my Muscovy was never seen near her, but I don’t no what happened in the duck house over night maybe the Muscovy snuck on in at one point while the mallard was sleeping

That would be either a Cayuga or Cayuga and khaki campbell mix. Looks like a bit of a runner too

Is it possible to have a mix of three in one?

 

[Corbdee]

Yes, she is a call duck and the other one is a Saxony.

I thought she was a buff. Also the other one looks like a call mix. You've sure got some interesting ducks, @Bs11luke

That depends on whether the parents were mixes, and it looks so

ThNk you I think I’m going to have interesting ducklings from these to

Yes, that one definitely is a runner, as it has a slightly curved bill and is stood up straight
