I want more ducklings now! lol They top one looks like a mallard or rouen ( I'm not good with the markings)​

Well, they are all half mallard. The only male is Mallard. The females I have are different breeds. I am guessing that the ones that look mallardy are pekin mixes? the one with the paler mallard markings and the paler chest I think might have a khaki mom, and one has got to be 1/2 swedish... but they all have the same daddy.

I'm sure that the other mothers were layandruns, I have quite a few of those, they lay and run.

The great thing about mixes is your always surprised! I got some eggs from and friend and she has rouens. Well she has a 'blue rouen' (I'm going with mixed rouen) and the babies I got from those eggs were all VERY different looking. I got (these are by what I see from there down):
-two mallard patterned babies
-One white baby
-One white baby with brown butt
-One blue baby
-One buff/snowy mallard with a PURPLE beak
-And last but not least, a blue crested duckling!
Its amazing what you will get when you cross!
