Duckling ID help : )

[Sdonz1]

Hello we have only had silkie chickens and these are our first ducks. My first question is can anyone help me with what type they are? And my second is do you think they will get along with my very passive silkie chickens? Thank you so much!

The dark one is either mallard or rouen and the other 2 maybe buff orpington or welsh harlequin?

Ohhh I hope so! We are a 4H family and having 3 different breeds would be so fun. : )

The White one may be a White Layer since its bill is somewhat pink, they both look the same grown. Enjoy them

I see a rouen, a pekin, and a saxony (grey undertone and eye stripe!)

Some Buff ducklings have eye stripes as well.

Buff don't typically have an eye stripe and don't have grey undertones. This one is too grey in color to be a buff

I beg to differ, I've seen plenty of Buff ducklings with eye stripes, As well as having grey undertones. Some buffs ducklings look quite similar to Saxony, I'm not trying to say you're wrong just saying there is a chance, and the possibility of it being a buff shouldn't be totally discounted for.
