What breed are my new ducks?

[Hayley411]

We just got these two yesterday from a a man off CL he said his dogs kept trying to attack them. Poor things.
These are my first ducks and I'm absolutely infatuated with them.

Anyway What breed do you think they are? They are 4 weeks old and big, I was thinking maybe crested pekin.
What do you think?

I have to wait to see what they are, I'm hoping for a male and a female.
If I get a male and a female their names will be Beaker and Webby VanQuack.

It's from Duck Tales a cartoon I watched as a kid.

They look like crested pekins to me.

They are so cute. Looks like you may be able to tell the difference between them by their crests...One big and one smaller..

Certainly look more like a pekin than a Runner- but a little harder to tell with them sitting down.

Love the names you have picked too...

Quote:
If they are male and female, might I suggest some non crested birds of the same general appearance. Reason? crested to crested is not productive mating. if the eggs get two crested genes, one from the male the other from the female it is a fatal defect and they will die in the shell. since the odds are 50% that this will happen half will never hatch. of those that do hatch 50% should have crests and 50% not. Good luck with your cute ducks.

My vote is crested pekin - the line of the beak to head on a Runner is a straighter line than the curved one of your duckies.

Too cute!
