Ideal Hatchery Choice Duck Assortment-Breeds?

[Magnolia Ducks]

It will be close to their adult coloring. You can kind of tell from their down but I've been surprised before when they feathered out. I have barnyard ducks so its kind of like Forrest Bumps box of chocolates.

Omg the waiting game for my first 2 seemed to take forever! I️ thought for sure they were females until suddenly they weren’t. They got the first set that looked female, then drake feathers, then several months later they turned colorful. I️ love that movie!

Hey again y’all! I️ have waited and I️ am pretty sure I️ know all of the breeds except for one.
I️ believe I️ have:
1 Pekin
1 White Crested
1 Fawn and White Runner
1 Cayuga (started quacking 2 weeks ago)
1 Mallard (very small compared to others)

I️ thought the last one was a Khaki Campbell but the feathers designs are different than my previous ones were. Pic #2 of feathers

Also, since only one is quacking does that mean the rest are males? They are all 6 weeks old.

Beautiful ducks!!! The brown one is a Khaki Campbell. Some ducks are late quackers and will quack later than you expect. I would wait till they're like 8 weeks old.

Awesome thank you! I️ might’ve already asked but how long does it take the average domestic duck to be considered mature and have all their adult feathers?

You're welcome! They will molt into their adult plumage at about 15 weeks, and they become sexually mature at 4-5 months.
