Help! What breed are my Ducks?

[BreenaAndTony]

In this photo, I know I have black, and tan and white runners.... But, I cant exactly say what the other three are. The white marble looking one, and the two that look like rouen or mallard maybe????? I have waited some time to post this thread because I wanted them mature enough to have their feathers in...

I don’t know what they are but that white marbley one sure is unique and gorgeous!

They are gorgeous did you know you have 5 drakes and one female unless the Fawn and white Runner is a drake too and just doesn’t have his drake feather? I believe the marble one is a mix and gorgeous!

That marble one is gorgeous. Where did you get them? Did you buy them from a hatchery, a friend, a farm? Were there several breeds roaming together? The two mallard-ish ones kind of look like one breed or another, but all three look like mixes. I don't know what that marble one is, or how he can look like that, but he is stunning! Absolutely stunning, the mad scientist within me is wondering how to breed such a duck.

I hope you're planning on breeding him!

The brown ones with the green heads are Khaki Campbell drakes. The 'marble' one is probably a Silver Swedish, and the rest are most likely Runners (although the black ones could be mixed).

This thread might help. Looks somewhat similar to your duck. Probably a Silver or a Splash Swedish like MagpieDucks mentioned.

Do the black ones stand like that all the time or were they just alert when you took the picture? Color wise They look a lot like my Cayuga drakes.
And I also think you have 2 khaki campbell drakes.

The Rouen/Mallard looking ones are Khaki Campbell drakes or Khaki mixes. The first picture is my Khaki/Silver Appleyard mix. He has a more rust colored chest than a normal Khaki and he has bright blue speculums on his wings. The bottom picture is my pure Khaki drake when he was young. His wing patches are more teal/green colored than blue and his chest isn't as rust colored. Where did you get your ducks?

Besides the left one noone looks like a runner; but that can be the pose they are in when you took the picture (you know better them me how their poses are normally, but personally they look a bit too fat/muscled to be Indian Runners just having as only information this 1 picture. Don't tell them I said this they might get upset).
The marbled one could be 'silver/splash'. (one is the UK name the other the USA name but I don't know which is which, in Dutch it is garbage white and I don't use that because it is quite negative haha). If you know what the parents were you can be more sure. It appears when blue meets blue. It comes from the (deluted) black region not the brown colours.
