My daughter got 4 ducklings from the duck bin at TSC. Last year she raised just chickens for 4H but this year she wanted to try raising ducks along with her chickens.

They are 5 weeks old and she thinks she has identified two of them as Pekins but 2 of them she said she can’t figure out what they are. Would anyone be willing to help with that? Also any guesses on rather drakes are not? I told her I would ask in here today and see if anyone could help her out.

Sorry if these pictures are not the best when she gets home from school I can have her help me take better ones if needed.

Lovely ducks, your daughter is doing a great job with them! Yes, I would think the white ones are probably Pekin. My guess on the other two is Rouen, but I'm not certain.

You should be able to start hearing clear and distinct QUACKS from the females. The males will have a more raspy sounding voice.
