Mismarked Swedish, Magpie, or Cayuga?

[Beah10]

I have all three of these breeds in my order from Ideal and I can't seem to figure out which it is. I don't think they added the Cayuga to my order at all, I only ordered one and all the ducklings have very deep white chests. I have 3 Magpies marked really well and 2 DOA Swedish.

So I have 2 that I can't tell which are which.

Baby A: has pied feet. Baby B: solid black feet

I had a Swedish cross with that very same mark on his foot. Other than that, he looks like a Campbell to me, though the only ducklings I've ever really had are Welsh Harlequins. But out of the three I'd say Sweed or Cayuga.

@shawluvsbirds has Cayugas. I have one drake and I *believe* he was jet black all over as a duckling.

They look just like my Cayuga ducklings to me but I haven't seen any swedish or magpie ducklings in person for comparison.

Do Cayuga ducklings often have deep yellow chests?

A lot of mine have had yellow chests.

A lot of mine have had yellow chests.

Oh okay, I didn't know that happens often. What age did they start losing the yellow chests?

I'm so glad I tagged Shaw because I was obviously wrong about my Cayuga as a duckling

Hmm. Didn't seem like long.
Now mine do have some Rouen mixed in them. But I'm pretty sure the lady I got them from (full Cayuga) had ducklings with yellow chests too.

Thought I would update this. Baby A is a Black Swedish. While I can't be 100% sure it's not a mismarked Magpie, it's temperament is a night and day difference from the 3 Magpies it's being raised with.

Baby B is a Cayuga, has lost all of the yellow chest.

Here's a photo of both behind the yellow ducklings:
