I bought these ducklings last Wednesday at Orschelns and I'm not sure what type of duck they are. A woman at the store said it was possible that they were Indian Runners because they had gotten some of them in the past week, but they were in the pen marked "Hatcheries Choice" or something along those lines. The woman said that meant they were sent to the store without a description. Can anyone help identify them?


Also I assume they are both the same type of duck but does the different color bill and feet mean that they are different?
 
They might be Welsh Harlequins, but not sure about the different bill colors. The one with the pink bill might be a Pekin.
 
I think you're looking at two different breeds here... Welsh Harlequin and Pekin maybe (orange bill: pekin, dark bill: WH)? Something about the duckling with the orange bill is throwing me off though. I just raised a Pekin duckling and her body shape was different than the bird in the picture. I'm thinking maybe they're both Indian Runners, perhaps a white one (orange bill) and a brown one (brown/dark bill)?

These are just guesses, but I hope they help!
 
The bill in of the lighter colored duck looks orange in the picture but it is actually more of a fleshy pink color. I'm not sure if that is considered orange for ducks or if it will turn later into orange but i wanted to mention it if it makes a difference.
