Duckling Identification Help

[Cardipeep]

My son has been begging to add ducks to our backyard flock and today I caved when we saw these babies at TSC. They were in a bin labeled “ducks” with no other information. One pure yellow with orange feet and bill that I’m guessing is a Peking. The others are varying yellow and black with spotted feet and bills. Are they Anconas? Muscovy? Neither? Thanks!

I’d guess the 4 yellow and black ones are all Anconas - Anconas tend to vary a lot in appearance.
The all-yellow one is likely a Pekin, but there’s a couple breeds with all-yellow babies. A picture of their face would help.

Thank you!

Okay, still looks like a Pekin to me. Feel free to show us adult pictures when they’re full grown, too! Your ducklings are soo gorgeous Good luck with them!

Beautiful ducklings .I second Anconas on the black and whites, and the one with the heavily masked face looks like a tricolor Ancona.

Thank you everyone! We are very much in love with these guys. My excited son is currently researching Pekin and Ancona ducks.

Looks like TSC sources all/most of their birds from Hoover’s Hatchery, so check which breeds they have as a starting point.
They also have this site https://www.tractorsupply.com/tsc/catalog/live-birds which you might could get an answer for your area store.
In the app I didn’t see Anconas as a possibility but they do have a “mixed ducklings” so it’s still possible.
Ours only carries boring ones like Pekins and Rouens but that’s fine for me, I raise only Cayugas.
