I was raised around a lot of different farm animals, but save for one Pekin duck my grandmother got me, I have virtually no experience with them. Well, the hubs and I decided to get 2 duckling for our boys (and me!) and are in the process of building them a pen while they feather out in the house. The man we got them from has no idea what kind they are, as they were in a brooder with 10-12 others, all mixed.
Do you have any ideas what kind they may be? We believe the yellow one to be a female, as it is much louder and more vocal than the brown. Could be wrong, but that is just what we are thinking. The dark one is brown, as you can see.
The yellow one has flesh colored feet, but she wouldn't show them. As her feathers are growing she is starting to get a dark area along her back and what looks like a red/pink line along the top of her wings.
Excuse their box - it is cleaning day but haven't gotten to it yet.
Oh, and they are just about 3 weeks old.
