What breeds do I have?

[lemonandpoppy]

My husband brought home two ducklings from Tractor Supply. I think the darker one is a Rouen. I thought the lighter one was a Pekin, but the feathers are now coming in light brown. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Hi @lemonandpoppy Welcome to BYC! What a lovely ducks
My first thoughts where the same as it comes to breeds. Let's see what others have to say

Buff duck and Rouen

Is a buff duck the same size as a peking? Because when I did see the shape, I thought peking... but the color gives away something different...

Slightly smaller than a pekin.

Thank you! Is a buff duck the same as a buff Orpington duck? I’ve never owned ducks, so this is all new to me! I’m assuming it’s too early to tell if they’re male or female?

Yes it's Buff Orpington duck
