New Mama to 2 Ducklings

[Landrethmari]

Hello,
I am a proud chicken mama to 3 beautiful girls for two years. However, as of this afternoon now am a duckling mama to two babies as well!
My son was so excited that my husband said ok, so he quickly chose his two favorite. The issue is we have no idea what breed they are or their sex. I am hoping someone with experience can help us identify the breed(s)

Thank you so much!

Congrats on your new ducklings! They're adorable! The brown one is probably a Rouen or a Mallard. And I think the yellow one is a Pekin.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens and Congratulations~!
You have some lovely ducks there! The yellow one is most likely a pekin and the darker one is a Rouen, Rouens have messy eyelines and normally two, Mallards have neater eyelines and only one. Fingers crossed you get both hens~

Glad you're here !

A must have for your poultry is a FIRST AID KIT for any issues that would arise. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/suggestions-for-a-first-aid-kit.1150128/)
It's definitely better to have it and not need it rather than need it and not have it.

Also, make sure your coop(s) have a proper amount of VENTILATION. (https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...-there-and-cut-more-holes-in-your-coop.47774/) Your chickens will absolutely thank you for it!

One last thing, if you're into gardening, feel free to join this years SEED SWAP (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/seed-swap.1220129/)
