What breed are my babies?

I'm a new mom & I'm curious what I have. It really doesn't matter love them anyways.
Thanks in advance

Where'd you get them? They are going to turn out as Grey's and could be Runners, Mallards, or Rouen's. There are grey calls but these do not look a lot like them. When they feather out into their adult plumage you can ask again and you'll get more specific answers.

Welcome to BYC by the way

Got them at tractor supply. I figured it was worth a shot to ask now. I picked these 2 out because of the crest on their heads, they were different & different is good lol. Thanks for the reply & the welcome.

They definitely look like mallards or rouen to me, I think their legs are set too far forward to be runners. Do both of them have a crest?

Cute little fuzzbutts!

What about these? Lol
They are golden 300 hybrid X giant Pekin. They look Swedish, but is that possible?

Sorry for jumping in ;-)

I'm sure there's Swedish in the running of the breed. It's probably a recessive factor that came from the result of crossing the two ducks together. All it is, is a bibbed pattern one of the six main patterns for ducks. Yet I do see Golden 300's with the bibbed pattern and they are sex-linked.

They are sex linked? Can you tell me what I have then?

I don't know what the Pekin duck did to them but if they were just plain Golden 300's those would be drakes. There is less use for sex-linked ducks because at one week of age you can vent sex ducks and geese.

I tried to vent sex and I can't tell, but I think I saw a penis on the one with yellow on it's face, the standing one, but it's only a guess, and I thought the other is female, again a guess lol

I just tried again since I tried when they were only a few days old and they are 9 days old now, but i still did not find a penis, oh well lol, I'll find out when it's older
