Looking for information on duckling identification.

[Jen0630]

Hi All,
I am interested in finding out some more information about the black duckling in the photos. These ducks were left behind by someone in our neighborhood about 2-3 years ago. They live in the creek behind our house now. I feed them when they come up to the house. I don't really know much about ducks except what I've read online. I know the two white ones are Pekin and I'm pretty sure the tan ones are Khaki Campbell's. From what I've read online Pekin ducks can have ducklings that have some black feathers but I haven't seen anything that says they can be solid black. Does anyone know how this happened or if it is normal? I'm pretty sure they hatched today. I'm already in love with all of them!

Thanks!

There is some other lineage in the hen or drake that is probably recessive or you have a secret visitor

Hello..It's possibly a cross with the Khaki Campbell or something thing else..Cute Birds.

Can you adopt them. I'd be worried sick those babies are going to be picked off by predators and the Pekins can't fly to get away from anything either. I guess I just want everyone to have a safe home.

Maybe another duck laid her egg in the nest with the others?
