Got from Tractor Supply co.

[CeceliaD]

I got two more ducklings from Tracor supply which, I’m sure many know, are notoriously bad at labeling and identifying birds. One is a Pekin (the all yellow one of course) and the other is apparently a Rouen (which I’ve never had before so I just took their word for it), but after looking at images of Rouen ducklings, I’m pretty sure this little guy isn't. Anyone know what he might be? (I’m guessing he’s a male from his demeanor—not sure yet). He’s just the tiniest tiniest bit darker than the other but still yellow and he has a dark brown heart on his head. I named him Cupid of course.

TSC strikes again. Absolutely not a Rouen, and very likely a cross bred of some sort.

TSCs down here don’t even label the ducks. They receive them as “assorted ducks” so be careful. That pekin may be an orphington as they’re almost identical at that age. What color are the black spotted one’s feet?

My tsc uses hoovers hatchery i dunno if they all do. You could find out which hatchery yours uses go to that website and see if any ducklings on that page mtch what you have.

Never heard of that breed before, thank you! I’ll look them up. He has pink feet

Do you think maybe a Pekin/khaki Campbell mix? I mean he’s mostly all yellow except the one spot. I can’t find anything online that looks like him

We do! Very cool, I haven’t met too many Cecilia’s in my time. I’ve met only one who spells it like me too, most are the traditional spellings. I love our name though
