Ok, these ladies are 9 months old now and hatch mates...... Lets see what you think they might be....... no wrong answers....cause I have not idea either, my guess is pekin rouen cross....

The darker one is Daffy and the other is Buddy......and they have a little grey call friend named Shadow...
 
my guess is buff orp or runner somewheres in that cross with a rouen... also could be swede or ancona in there with the white
 
Wow.... I'm mystified! Such strange coloring on the wrong shape! LOL!

The first one looks like a fawn and white duck in coloring, but has a big ol' pekin shape.

The second looks like a rouen or mallard, but the white spots, hmmm...... could be pekin, but usually when you cross those two breeds you get black and white.... Totally baffled....

They could be ducks from crosses, so there may be 3-4 different types in there.... And they can be hatch mates with different dads if all the ducks were in one pen...
 
The one on the left is a cross between a liger and a unicorn. The one on the right is a pterodactyl and penguin.

Either way, they sure are interesting looking!

I believe the one on the right is a pekin/rouen mix, just because it looks different than other pekin/rouen crosses, that doesn't mean it's not one as well. It is a mix after all, they rarely look the same. The one on the right is hard to say. I'd agree with the buff/pekin cross as suggested by Wifezilla, but both of them together makes me wonder if they aren't a cross between a runner and a pekin? The one on the left could be a F&W cross and the one on the left could be a cross between a grey and a pekin.

Though with that much white on their necks, it makes me think they might be mixed with swedish and something else?

Any idea what type of flock they came from?

And FWIW, they look nothing like muscovies to me

ETA: Usually the only way I can tell my pekin/rouen ducklings from my rouen ducklings is from the amount of white on them. The crosses usually have more white on their throats (the white 'band' is wider than it should be) and wing tips. Otherwise they look just like a rouen.
