I know nothing about ducks. We started building a 2nd chicken coop and found these guys hanging around my flock of Delaware's. They won't go home, where ever that might be. None of our neighbors have ducks, not sure how far they have traveled. Seems to be a breeding pair with a young one with them. He still has fuzz on his head and neck. Can someone verify which breed they are, any information would be appreciated. They are very talkative too! Thanks!
 
Exactly the two options I got off the internet. Pekin Ducks or Embden Geese. The one who is the protector is larger and stands watch and honks at me and looks like he is grown. The other one takes care of the young one and the young one lays with her and hides his head under her when he is scared. The larger one has very orange legs while the other 2 are faded. The 2 larger ones have a light gray feathers on their back side I don't know if that helps.
 
Thanks everyone. I haven't decided about adopting yet, I was planning on adding ducks. I'm thinking on keeping them for next few weeks to see if anyone is missing them. Most likely I will adopt them out to a good home. They are very pretty and apparently are in love with my flock of Delawares and my Pack of beagles! Wonder who is protecting too! Thanks!
