I got my first ducks yesterday. Anyone know what breed? And maybe gender? One stands taller and has a bigger head, and the other one has a skinnier body and stands more level. Does that mean one of each? It’s probably too early to tell😅 if you need certain pics to tell breed or gender please let me know. Also, they can live with chickens right? Thanks!!

Such cuties! I am fairly certain they are Blue Swedish ducklings. Still to young to tell the gender. At about 6-10 weeks old, you can listen to their voices. If they are fairly chatty and have a distinct "quack quack" they are girls. If they are less noisy, quieter, and have a raspy "whap whap" it's a drake. When they are 10+ they will get the males will get drake feathers.
 
They can live with chickens once they are feathered in and have been introduced by see no touch so the chickens learn to accept them.
They sure are pretty.
