Thanks for the tag!

And I agree with the OP's assessment! Also, they are adorable!

Hi y’all! One week later and they are growing like weeds. The mallard(?) is super tiny and the pekin is HUGE. Here’s what I️ think I️ know:

#5 (Named Aflac) is 100% a pekin. I️ just don’t know if it’s Jumbo or not.

#4 (Windmill aka. Millie, courtesy of 5yo) I’m leaning toward Runner of some sort. I’m not sure what colors there are.

#6 (Goose) is way smaller than the rest, I’m not sure if Mallards grow slower but I️ do know it will be much smaller as an adult.

#1 (Queen Elizabeth) 100% Crested

#2 (Jared) still unsure. It doesn’t walk as tall as runner or as low as the pekin. It’s more in the middle.

#3 (Paradise) I still think Khaki Campbell.

Here’s a pic! (Ignore the mess, I️ cleaned the brooder after I️ took the pic. They are too cute!)

Out of curiosity, around what age do the ducks usually start feathering out? I️t looks like the are starting to lose their down a bit but I’m not sure.

Ok thank you! These feathers will be the baby coloring, correct?
