Hello all and good morning! I hatched out two pure Indian runner duckling yesterday and was curious of two things one can anyone identify breed? I’m sure one is Emory penciled not sure about the other. Anyone care to guess? Also worst hatch I have ever had only two survived of nine one severely deformed I will include picture so warning graphic. What could of caused this? They where shipped and the seller sent me the smallest duck eggs I have ever seen smaller than a chicken egg. I knew chances of success where small the moment I laid eyes on these tiny eggs. But two made it! Grateful for them 🥰 we names them Spanky and Petey (little rascals lol)

Definitely Emory penciled and I really not sure on the other it kinda looks like my Runner that I have!!
 
I know he is throwing me for a loop to! What about the malformed duckling have you ever seen that before? He had no eyes and his brain was never closed off poor thing he lived for 4 minutes out of the shell. He was a real fighter. So sad.
 
The one that didn’t make it kinda like this but with a lot more white!! But it’s hard to tell because it not dry! I’m sooo sorry about all the losses in your hatch:hugs

I’m sorry about that third little one, poor little guy. Couldn’t have been easy for you either.

I got some eggs off eBay recently and out of 13 eggs only 2 even show development. They are almost half way through now, but yeah, they were pretty small. Although as I understand it they are typically the size of a jumbo chicken egg?
 
I'm so sorry about the baby that didnt make it. Your little grey one looks like my blue runners when they were little.
