Duckling ID Trivia, name the breed.

[osukrazykate]

I just got some new ducklings from Ideal hatchery. What breed do these look like? And are they gender identifiable?
There are 4, two yellow with black frosting on head and tail, as well as a blackish streak right behind the eyes and pink bill with black tips fading into gray and mostly pinkish white feet with graying accents.
Two black Ducklings with yellow chest and one with yellow tipped wings and yellow dot near eye. Their bills are black with pink/whitish on edge and mostly black feet with some pinkish white in some of the webbings.

Are they purebred?

I would say the two black ones with a tip of yellow on their wings and a yellow chest are black swedish

I looked at what Ideal Poultry sells. So, I am going to guess Blue Swedish (since they only sell blue, not black) for the dark ones, and Buff Orpingtons for the yellow ones. And no, you cannot tell gender at this age with those breeds.

I was also thinking the black Swedish with the black ones from the pics I’ve found. The yellow ones I was thinking maybe Blue Swedish or perhaps Harlequin. I got them yesterday and they were both much tinier than my Pekins were when we got them. This morning I thought the black ones were already bigger than the yellow ones too.

Since Ideal doesn't sell either of those, not likely. Here is the link to their site: https://www.idealpoultry.com/products/4. They are very cute!

I'll guess Cayuga's and Buff's.

Looking at their website their colorations don't look Ideal. Who has seen a rouen with black feet? That cant be standard?

All my Rouen Ducklings have black feet/legs....
