Hi there! I have 3 little ducklings that I got from tractor supply and I'm having a very hard time identifying them. Thoughts are either cayuga, chocolate runners, or khaki campbells. Any idea? A friend said he raised hundreds of campbells and his did not look like ours. So that has me second guessing my initial guess. They are still chirping like little chicks, so I cannot sex them yet.

My initial guess is Cayuga, but it’s a bit hard for me to tell with the red light / angle. Could you show a side view of them all without the light?
Best I can do at the moment. Thanks for your help on this :)

Yeah, never mind, those are Khakis haha. Their dark backs were confusing me. Cayuga ducklings will be grey, almost black. Not sure what your friend is talking about.

I don’t think they’re Runners, as they would be walking / standing tall, whereas Khakis walk with their bodies lower to the ground.

Also for sexing them, if you can send a video once they’re ~2.5 - 3 weeks old, I’d be happy to voice-sex them early for you :)

See I thought they were khakis. I was totally thrown when he said they probably weren't lol. I'm guessing they are almost 2 weeks old. Hope to hear some quacking soon. Thank you again!
