What breed are these?

[Audfix1]

So we recently got two ducks and thought they were pekins but now that their feathers are starting to come in they have brown coloring not sure what breed these are, can anyone help? Indian runners perhaps?

I'm thinking buffs. They have about the right colouring and stance.

The duck who's head you can see in the 3rd picture is a Saxony drake. Eye stripes only show up in the Saxonies (not the Buffs) and the dark burgundy chest indicates a male.

Any baby pictures because the Hen definitely is a buff.

The one on the left is a Saxony. Here is a photo of some of mine as ducklings:

The other is probably a Buff.

Yes one has eye stripes and has an orange beak, the other does not have eye stripes and has a darker beak.
