So recently I bought a dozen Clarence court-Braddock White duck eggs from SAINSBURY'S.
I decided to incubate them and see what happens, and sure enough two are developing. Though I have my suspitions, I am not sure which duck breed these are!! I know of others who have hatched healthy ducklings from these eggs after 28 days, but no one seems to know what breed they are.
I went through some photos on the Clarence Court Eggs Facebook page and found a few images of the ducks. So I will attach them to this post, if there are any duck experts out there, what do you think these are??

Those are Pekins
 
Those are Pekins
that's what I suspected...When I searched on google, Aylesburys came up, but they look nothing like them in my opinion! Must be pekins. I have a dumb question! How many kinds of pekins are there? I know German and Americans, is that it? I've heard about jumbo pekins but are those the same as Americans?

They almost look like a cross between aylesbury and pekin they sit lower like a aylesbury but dont look big enough....but they look like a mix.

All I have heard of is Pekins and Jumbo Pekins. For all I know though there’s more lol
 
I have alot of breeds cause I have about 60 ducks some pekin and some aylesbury so i just thought a mix....maybe it's the angle....do you have better pics
 
Looks like a pekin! Might be a mix of different lines though, they don't look exactly like any of the pekin "types" I've seen so far, although the way the feathers are remind me of my jumbo. The only other similar duck I've had was a pekin/rouen mix who somehow came out totally white.
