Maybe not Pekins?

Hello,
I went searching for baby Pekin ducks. Tractor Supply said they were Giant Whites, and after searching Google, I assumed they were Jumbo Pekins. Well, they are about 5 weeks old and turning brown. What breed did I get??

Super cute. And even though they don't like to be picked up, once they are on your lap they will lay down and snuggle.

Possibly fawn and white Runners can you get a front pic of one standing up liking face forward at the camera do they stand straight and straight or squatty like reg ducks? The bill makes me kind of think Runner

Yeah, I agree maybe Fawn or Fawn and White Runners. Or they could be Buff Orpingtons with they have the standard duck build. Couple of cuties for sure.

They are back in the brooder now, so no pic. One stands straight up but walks like a regular duck. The other stands and walks like a regular duck.

Those bills really look Runnerish

I'm fairly certain, after much googling, they are Buff Orpington Ducks. I finally found an image of BO ducklings about the same age and they are almost identical! Yay! Now we wait and see if they are male and/or female.
