Rescued these two 'chicks' today. No idea what they are, please help.

A neighbor had two wild ducks and these two chicks following them in her backyard. The chicks are not fully feathered yet, but stand over a foot tall when stretching their necks up. Their legs are extremely stocky as well. I can't imagine they are more than a few weeks old, as they are still mostly pink skinned. Please help!

Wow, they are HUGE! I would say Cornish X, but if they are, they are pretty skinny ones. The other option is white Plymouth Rock, and are probably between 2-4 weeks old

Wow. They look like all their feathers ate stripped off. They do resemble Cornish X, but I don't honk they are, because they are not meaty enough. Im thinking White Rock, but they have such long legs!

I know! We were trying to figure out what happened to their poor feathers. We have no idea how long they had been wandering with the ducks, and would not have known they were even in the neighborhood if a passerby hadn't told us. I'm just glad we got them into the yard, especially since someone had apparently been feeding them bread.

I think they are Cornish X, but they have been on their own for a while.
