Got my order today! pics

Picked up my order from the post office today.....supposed to be 10 ducks, but there were 4 little "packing peanuts" included.

2 are reddish with black streaks on the backs and 2 are reddish with white wings and bellies.....any guesses?

No guesses - I'm not skilled enough for all that, haha!
I just wanted to say, awwwwwwwwwwwww! Too cute!

ducklings and chicks ... so cute!

probably production red males.

I agree, they look like the production reds we have.

Sorry to ask a dumb question.....but are they just called "production reds"? Not RIR's or something with a name....hee hee. I have 12 laying hens, BR and BSL and didn't want roosters, but these guys were packed with the ducks. I have no choice but to brood them together, I know I shouldn't but have to. Then maybe I'll keep the nicest one and rehome the others (if I'm lucky) I really don't want to make them dinner and I'm sure the hatchery had worse plans for them.
