Mixed ducklings from tsc????

I've never seen a Saxony baby in person so I can't really guess on that. (I have 2 saxony babies coming soon though! yay!) But I thought that one kind of looks like my 2 runner babies from TSC
I'm jealous of all the different kinds everyone finds at their local Tsc! Two weeks in a row all ours had was pekin, runners and Rouens. All adorable but it would be neat to see some of the others too!

Congrats on the adorable babies.

Thank you! I would be happy with a runner too! I think they are super cute.
 
Went back to tsc today for pine shavings and they had some ducklings left from the same batch i picked my 6 out if last week. A bunch of rouens and then a yellow one and a black swedish i beleive?!
Anyway bought two more .
Not sure what this yellow one is tho.
They told me it was a khaki cambell ... But didnt look like one to me
400
 
The yellow is likely a pekin, though in that lighting it looks like a buff!
Yes, the black with white chest is a black swedish

Thanks. I actually have 4 pekin. It doesnt look like them. It has a darker bill and legs . And greyish feathers on head and back. Maybe she is mixed tho.

The purplish bill makes me think buff instead of pekin. I got a buff at TSC a few years ago, so it's definitely possible.
 
Hey i just picked up 6 new ducklings from tsc. They had all ducklings mixed together. Im not very experienced but i think i got a few pekin ducklings and a black swedish... Could be wrong. And then a light colored one that i have no idea? I seen some pictures of saxony ducklings she kinda resembles....??? Could use help.
That looks a lot like a mystery duckling I saw at my local TSC about a month ago. No one suggested saxony at the time...the best we could come up with was some kind of runner or maybe a golden 300 hybrid, but I think saxony is the most likely.

Thank you! I will look up golden 300 i have not heard of that. I sure hope its a saxony they look very pretty! I would be happy with a runner too but so far she doesnt stand like a runner. Stands and walks like my pekins
 
Ok. We have been waiting for our tsc to tell us they have something other than pekins. Maybe I should just go look at what they have if they are mixed up like this?

I really don't want all pekins because the boys will have to be culled from my mixed flock (too big for my other girls).

What are some identifiers other than color that I could look for.
