Identifying ducklings.... (NEW PICS)

[ValerieM]

Two days ago, my sister purchased 14 ducklings from the local livestock auction and she's wondering what breed they might be. She's worried that they're Muscovies (she doesn't like them!).

Is there any way to tell Muscovies from other breeds at a young age? Here are some pictures:

Any guesses to the breed?

Thanks SO much in advance!

The brown ones are probably Khaki Campbells, the yellow ones are probably Pekins. I have no idea what the yellow/black ones are.

Can you get a picture of their feet? If they have really noticeable CLAWS, those might be muscovies.

THe yellow ones are not pekins unless they are mixed. Pekins don't have blue bills, they have orange. They mostly look like mixes to me. The first does look like a khaki campbell,

the black/white ones might be magpies

I'm with you. I think at least the brown black ones with yellow bellies might be Muscovies. Your sis doesn't like them? Send them my way I love muscovies!

I think they are goofy looking, but they are still cool

See the duck in the top photo on the far left with the eye stripe and brown cap? I have seen a lot of baby scovie pictures that look just like that.

Thanks for all the replies so far! Tomorrow I will try to get some pictures of their feet and some closer up pictures of some of the other ones as well.

Okay, I've finally had a chance to get some more pictures of these little guys (who are growing SO fast!):

I'm not an expert on muscovies, but your ducks look a LOT like these...
