I think you have a pekin (yellow one), khaki campbell (brown one), blue swedish (gray with yellow chest) and a rouen.

Looks like the campbell may be crested. It can happen in any breed, so that's not too strange. Just keep an eye on it because crested ducks are more prone to neurological issues. There's also a gap in their skull under the crest.

That's really funny that they labeled them chickens. That's pretty par for the course for TSC :rolleyes: Last year I bought a couple BBW turkey poults that they had labeled as leghorn pullets.

Haha right! Im thinking they might had them mixed with the chickens and just sold out cause i was at a tractor supply today, risky i know lol, and they had ducks in a chick pen and there was no label for ducks hust dark cornish chickens
 
How are those puppy pads working? Do you have them in their brooder too or just use them when they’re out? I use pine bedding in my brooder but it gets saturated so quickly that I end up changing it out multiple times a day. I think puppy pads would be a lot easier!

Have you tried making a special duckling waterer to keep the wet mess down? It helps a lot, lol.
 
Yeah I thought not but then you saw it before I could delete it :lol:

Does look similar not my little ones that are supposed to be goslings though.... Now I wonder... :lol:

Lol, post a picture if you can :) The difference is really obvious once you've had goslings before. The beak especially will give it away.

It's not the ones in your avatar, right?
