I've been looking and looking and reading about Cayuga ducks and the Black Runners and the ducklings look soo similar.
When/how do you tell the difference between the two? I have 3 babies that are almost 3 weeks old. They are tall, and a chocolate brown color. They have dark beaks and dark legs. One of them has a small spot of yellow on their neck. They are very vocal already..
I got them from TS. About how old do they need to be before I can tell the difference in the breeds?
They look light because they are under the light right now, but look darker in person.

The pics were taken right before we changed their box out :)
