I was planning to get 2 female ducks. 1 khaki Campbell, and 1 Pekin. Today my grandmother came in and handed me a box that had 2 ducks inside. I asked her what kinds they are and she doesn‘t know, but says that the man told her they were both female. Is there any way to find out what kind of duck they are before they become adults? I want to give them the proper amount of Niacin in case they’re heavyweight.

It's never a bad idea to give extra niacin. Such cuties!
Definitely just start giving them extra niacin now. Any excess will just flush from their bodies. Better safe than sorry!
I’m definitely going to give them more. I’m guessing there’s no way to tell what kind of ducks they are till they’re older?
 
Probably not - they look like pekins. I have had Duclairs who also look just like pekins, but they're smaller. White layers also are smaller white ducks. I think it's sweet to have two of the same breed - I have a mixed flock, but they always seem to hang the most with their same breed.
