Pekin???

[Juno's Chicks]

I bought these 2 cuties at Tractor Supply yesterday and was told they are Pekins. I'm not sure if they really are. I thought Pekins were to be all yellow?! Anything advice would be appreciated!!!

Those are NOT pekins. Looks like miss marked black swedish. Or very miss marked magpie. VERY cute though!

Could be rouens, depending on how big they are. Mallards look similar but are tiny in comparison. These are rouen ducklings:

I have an absolutely beautiful rouen drake of my own. They look a lot like mallards when they're all grown up. Black swedish is a good guess too. I just suggested rouens because I know for sure TSC sells them. They had a bin full of them at my local store recently.

ETA: The two little guys in my avatar are pekins. You're absolutely right that they're supposed to be yellow

x2, TSC is notorious for mis-marking their tubs.

Unless you wanted to eat your Pekins.... (My boyfriend and I breed for meat).
