Hello, IM curious if anyone can give me help identifying these guys. I was told 2 week old black East Indies. But I’m suspecting some call mixed in. Can anyone tell me if 2 weeks old looks right feather wise? Thanks

I'm also thinking barnyard ducks. Not purebred. There's nothing wrong with that, its mostly what I have and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
I was pretty sure before I agreed to take them they weren’t pure, I was more hoping to get an idea of adult size. I was shown “the parents” who were bantam sized. Thanks for your help!
 
At 4 weeks they should be almost adult sized. They will grow for about 3 or 4 more weeks but not as fast. Just mainly filling out a bit. I'd say they are 75% of the size they are going to be.
 
Thanks! It’s helpful. I suspected they were about half grown. They are feathering nicely, wing feather coming in a beautiful green! A little timid, but a few mealworms go a long way. Very sweet little ducks.
