Mysterious Ducklings

[chickensducks&agoose]

I just acquired this batch of ducks. The mama seems to be a blue swedish something. the babies all look different, some black with yellow necks, some yellowish, and some sort of green. can i tell if they are boys or girls? When can we separate some out for pets? I think they are just 4 or 5 days old. What do you think? and how do i post pictures?

do they look like that?
They would be blue swedish.

Yeah, they do. How can one kind of duck have 3 different kinds of babies, and will they all turn out that gray color? even though they vary so much now?

Yes, they will eventually get adult feathers that will ook like your hen.
They are all different patterns. Take a snowfdlake or a cow for example, all have different patterns that make it different than any other one.

Also they could be from a blue x blue mating.

what do you guys think about singling out a few (oxymoron i suppose) for pets. Maybe they could sleep inside and get attached to us. How early is too early for that? We want them to like us, but not to suffer from not enough mama duck time....?
