Some of them do look mallard.The mallard I had layed greenish eggs.I would contact the seller and send her the pictures .I am sure there had to be a mixup and they should make it good.

Yeah, but they have what looks like 2 eye stripes

I used to have mallards but then they flew off

Oh, Cypress Duck Farm also has Khaki Camballs. Could they be a mix of those?

the 4th photo in your first post... those look to me like they could be rouens. my rouen ducklings look like mallard coloring, but the same size as a peking duckling. my true mallard ducklings are quite a bit smaller when they hatch. my mallards lay distinctly greenish eggs, can't mistake them for white, and they're smaller eggs. rouen eggs are chicken-egg-sized and bigger, mallards are smaller than standard chicken eggs. my rouen eggs are white with just a faint pinkish tinge in some lighting.

might be right on the khakies on the others, the all-over tan ones.

The eggs they hatched out of were just like your Rouen eggs! They were a lot bigger than chicken eggs.

The ones without the stripes look like they could be WH. I would say the rest are rouens. Mallards are much smaller, so if they were mallards you would notice a size difference.
They could also be Rouen/WH crosses. I have a few if those and they look like rouens until they feather out. Then they look like striped WH

How long does it take them to feather in? Do Rouens fly?
