Hi everyone, bought these little guys at our local TSC yesterday and was told they are Pekins... I know pekins can have 'some' brown on the head, and theyre feet/beaks are the right color...

Just seems like a little too much brown...

Just wanted to get some other opinions from those with more experience than myself.

Other possibilities Im thinking are:
1. Fawn Runner?
2. Buff Duck?
3. Welsh Harlequin?
4. White Layer?

I havent noticed any standing upright yet, but theyre only 2 days old. Here's another picture of them..

Looks like one is standing up in the water bowl but its not a good enough angle to see how upright he/she is

What breeds are you thinking?

Anyone else seen a Pekin with that much brown?

If they don't stand up tall, then maybe buff? I have never seen a buff duckling but I own a fawn and white runner. The colors do match a fawn and white but I just don't know. Time will tell for sure

maybe someone else will chime in with their thoughts? Neither of my Pekins had any brown and were very yellow which turned to white. Brown stays brown.

The coloring looks a lot like fawn and white runners to me, too. I was thinking that before I even saw needlessjunk's post.
