In the first picture are the parents (we think). Found two abandoned eggs by a lake (one in the middle of the parking lot and the other in grassy area) Took a chance, put them in incubator and voila: two pretty lill ducklings ☺️

The parents look like Khaki Campbells or a mix of them. So do the ducklings, which are very cute.

Sadly, people abandon domestic ducks at parks, ponds, and lakes all the time despite it being illegal.
Glad you were able to give these two a chance.

There was another all white colored duck with the 3 gray but haven’t seen it in a couple of weeks.
Glad that both of them hatched and they’re soooo 🥰
Thanks!

The all white one was probably a Pekin.

If you have the space, time, and money I would try to rescue the ducks at the lake too. Domestic ducks usually don't survive in the wild, and when they do they still don't have the proper nutrition and shelter which ends up killing them.

Do you have any other ducks or chickens?
 
the parents are a blue swedish drake, a blue runner hen, and a blue runner drake it looks like. please save them if possible, domestic ducks can’t live without humans
They are being fed. The people that live right by the lake have a feeder out for them.
There are also about two fams of gees with their babies. Pretty sure they will be fed by many, there are houses all around the lake.

We are beginners in this field lol. Only have for chickens and do not have the space for more ducks. Still have to figure out how to introduce the duckies to our chickens when they’ll be old enough to be moved in the run. And to build a shelter for them
 
You can start now by putting them in a playpen or dog crate and supervise them while the chickens check them out. Do this every day for short amounts of time so that by the time they have feathered out and are large enough the chickens will already be used to them.
