Duckling Thread!

[HuffleClaw]

Thank you. I was wondering about Cayuga for the black ones (jet black beans and legs) so I’ll have to look into Swedish ducklings, I haven’t heard of those. The grey ones are brown, not sure if that make a difference, these pictures are not the best. Thank you for the quick reply We are loving our new babies, they are so much fun!!

Then the brown ones could be Khaki Campbell’s, I’m not too sure on those ones. The others I think I got right.

We got the first 4 from a locally owned feed store that bought a random mix from ideal poultry in Texas. Fell in love with the 4 black ducklings, 2 with crests. A week and a half later I walked into Tractor supply for feed and left with 4 more babies, 2 brown, 2 yellow. Until now we’ve only had chickens except for a lone duck we rescued from a dog as a kid. These ducklings are sure fun. Until these friendly babies I thought the o Lt ones that would be full pets would be our light brahmas that we got last October.

My crew. Any ideas on breeds? I’m thinking Cayuga for the black ones but am NO expert . Started with 4 random black ducklings 3/13, got 4 more the 23rd....

Cayuga, Khaki Campbell, possibly a Runner, and a Pekin. If you post some photos of just 1 duckling by itself standing up it would be easier to identify them.

I didn’t think Cayuga’s had yellow bellies though?

Thanks. I know the pics are not the best. I’ll be getting home a little late after my son’s baseball but will get individual pics of each baby later tonight or tomorrow.

Pretty sure the black ducklings with yellow chest are black indian runners. They look identical to mine.

These are all of Ideal’s breeds to help identify.

I tried getting on there to see what my black ducklings are but it’s hard to determine which . The others came from TSC so not sure what they even carry

Got em!

They only had one Swedish and it’s blue..
Did my research and I bought a silver appleyard too.

Their names are:

Blue Swedish is Smokey (even closer to the other blue Swedish Smokey!)

SA is named Daffy.

YAY!
