Help me identify my ducklings breeds?

[Slrk9856]

Hello, I’m a new duck mom and I wanted to know if anyone could help me figure out what breeds my little babies are? I’m pretty sure the darker ones are Rouens since they have 2 stripes by their eyes but the other ones have spots or a darker undertone so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask. I’ve had friends with Pekin ducklings before and they look similar but I’ve never seen them with spots or what looks like stripes forming on their heads. Thanks so much in advance!

Where did you get your ducklings?

An update on my little darling ducklings, here’s them having a supervised swim. They love diving under water and splashing eachother. I love watching them grow

The ones with the stripes are most likely Rouen or Mallard, the white ones maybe pekins or buffs.

I agree with the dark ones being Rouens.
Could you get a shot of the yellow ones showing off the side of their face / body? I’m wondering if they’re Buffs, too

If the striped ones are Rouen then if the white ducklings are the same size the they are most likely Pekins

Where did you get your ducklings?

I got them from rural king and the workers just told me they were “assorted rare ducklings”. But couldn’t tell me much more than that

wow, that’s pretty interesting. I’ve never seen ducklings that are completely yellow except for a few little dark spots on their head that’ll be interesting to find out what they do end up growing to be.
