Hi all!! I am new to posting on this forum, but have used it many times to help with raising my ducklings! Last year I raised 3 khaki Campbell ducks and they have been wonderful. This year I wanted to add to my flock, so off to TSC I went and picked 4 more from the assorted bin. My goal was to get 2 Pekin and 2 Rouen, however I know you roll the dice when you buy from TSC. Now they are 5 weeks old, so I think I can get a better idea of their breeds. The brown ones I’m still unsure. But the white ones I’m hoping are Pekin. I’d love anyone’s else’s input!

Browns look like juvenile Khakis to me (I believe the feathers lighten in later moults, but you actually own khakis, so you tell me). Pink bill white is probably a white layer; orange bill white is a Pekin.

The brown ducklings look like Rouens to me, though they do appear a great deal smaller than the white ducklings. Are they the same age?

Thanks for your input everyone! The ducklings are the same age as far as I know. This is a pic of them in their first week. The coloring on the brown ones were different than my khakis from last year which is why I thought they’d be different. I guess time will tell. Either way I love them!

Oh! Golden 300 hybrid layers! (Duckling plumage was easier)
