What breed of Ducks are these?

[Jonny Anvil]

Hey everyone,

Just wondering if these are pure Silver Appleyards or Silver Appleyard Crosses?
I am guessing they are Crosses.

Ignore the Call ducks in this photo, well try they are cute.

I don't know what they are, but you have some pretty ducks.

The light brown one looks like a Saxony.
The black and white spotted one looks like an ancona.

The black spotted one looks to be ancona, the big drake in pic 4 looks like a rouen, and the other drake in pic 4 looks like a welsh harlequin, while the female looks to be silver appleyard.

MY GUESS- you have a male rouen, a male mallard (the smaller one, unless that was just the angle) maybe a golden hybrid 300 from Metzer farms, and the spotted one I have no clue, but LOVE IT. the lighter brown is the hybrid, and the typical duck looking ones are the rouen, larger and mallard, smaller.

The darker brown, maybe a campbell? I don't have any of those so not sure.

OOO, someone mentioned appleyard, I wanted some of those, but could not find them, they could be correct......
