How to figure out what breed of duck you have?

[Studabird]

Okay, I recently was given one duck and then BYC told me what a horrible idea that was so I went and bought four more to keep it company. I think the original duck is a Peking and about five weeks old. Pink bill and white feathers. I also think one of the younger ones that is about 10 days old is a Peking it has the same colored bill. My question is this are you able to tell the breed of duck when they are very young? I don't really care what they are or what sex I was just wondering. They are from TSC so literally God only knows what they are. I will post pictures if it will help but if I have to be patient I will do that as well.

Yes, you can tell what breed they are when they are ducklings. Can you post pictures of them?

Pekins

It looks like at least one or two might be fawn and white runners and the others Pekins.

Thank you all for the input. I really appreciate it. FYI the duck people on this site are much more responsive than the chicken people at least that has been my experience since getting ducks. Maybe another reason to like ducks LOL
