So my babies started hatching yesterday (6 days early!). Here's what I have running together right now: Pekins, campbells, harlequins, blue swedish, fawn and white runners, cayuga, muscovy, buff, and ancona.
I think the 2 lighter ones are blue swedish, but the facial stripes are throwing me off! What are your thoughts?
The darker one I think is a khaki campbell.

The light ones do look like swedish, I'm thinking they are runner swedish crosses... really cute babies! the dark looks like a cayuga, a khaki, or cayuga khaki cross. Looks like a cross.... How many more are there to go?

They are very cute, but the llikely hood they are any one breed is slim. Mix bred ducklings who may or may not show their mixes as they get older.
 
Yeah, I am aware they are most likely crosses. I just like to get others opinions as to what they think they could be :)
Duckgirl: I have one more dark one drying in the incubator. There are 9 left to go. These hatched early. They weren't due until the 28th! They were all collected within 2 days of each other, and placed in the incubator at the same time. So I'm not sure why these decided to come early!
