New here, with Indian Runner Ducklings....I think!

[javajanie]

My husband decided he wanted a duck this past week, so we went on a duck hunt this weekend. We have a bunch of Amish farms around our area. These are the ducklings we ended up buying.

Any clue as to what they are? We were thinking Indian Runners, but my brother in law went and bought a couple today and the Amish kid told him they were mixed. So who knows!

I don't know, but they sure are cute! One looks like it could be a runner and the other looks like a muscovy. I don't know though????

I thought Muscovy to with the light one, but the tail doesn't seem quite the same as I remember mine.

No clue about the other one. It looks very upright like a runner in that pic. Really, I just posted so that I could say they are soooo cute!!!!!

Yup! Cuteness abounds!

Yeah they are most likely mutts, but I'm fairly sure neither is a scovy.

So you can compare, here's my chocolate runner at 3 days old.

It's hard to tell when they are so little though.

Your babies are adorable!

First of all

and the wonderful world of ducks. They are so cute

They do looked mixed to me. I'd like to see pics of them standing up. They could be part runner. We found that all of our ducklings would stand up really tall like a runner at times. So far all of our mixed ducks have turned out really beautiful.

Yeah, I'm convinced they are just "mutts"! But that's ok. They are so adorable. And they follow me around and hop up on my lap. The kids are a little jealous that I am their favorite.

Of course, now that I'm sure they are mixed, I told my husband I need a runner, or two.

I fell in love with the breed while looking them up online.

They both are probably mixes but the darker one looks to me like it might be a runner mix. Looks kinda upright to me. But just a guess. Anyways they are tooo cute.
