they look like Welsh Harlequins. That's what I have and they look just like them.

They are probably Welsh Harlequins yes, but it is possible they could be snowy mallards also. Both breeds look very similar and the main difference is size. However, Snowy Mallards are not a very common breed. My avatar is a picture of one of my snowy mallard hens.

Congrats..Strange the seller could not tell a Duck egg from a Chicken egg?..Difference in the shells. Oh well, you got really lucky with getting Ducklings..
Didn't it surprise you when they took 28 days to hatch and not 21 days?..

Yah, the explanations in the first post.

And wrote the seller and they said they mistookenly sent me someone else’s order and offered a refund. Told them not to worry about it, things happen, specially when it’s that time of the year for lil ones.

Did they tell you what type of ducks they are?

 

[thejaxx]

Hah, sorry. They are Welsh.

We decided we will keep two. A friend with a farm will tale the others.

They are doing great and wow, do they grow fast!

And do they make a mess!
