[lishah2000]

Just got these little ones yesterday. I'm think they are a mix of some sort. Any ideas?

[lishah2000]

They are about 8 weeks old. They are less than half the size of my pekin that are a week older.

Thank you. I thought they looked like mallards. I will have to find out what the mom duck looks like. I think she is a mix.

They seem to be settling in well. They went to another home a few weeks ago, but came back to mom. It was only a few properties away and they were back the next day. So far they seem content here. They explored the property, but came back to the pond.
