What kind of duck is this?

[bhopkins224]

They look like my khaki Campbell duckling that I got this year. Watch out, they grow up super fast so have plenty of room for them to grow. Mine is nearly six or seven weeks old now and have nearly quadrupled in size. My little girl is such a sweetheart and is super mellow. Be sure to really handle them a lot in the first few weeks so that they will imprint to you. You won't be able to tell the sex until they start getting their feathers. The drake will have a dark brown stripe that goes around the eyes and the hens do not.

I try but they are so fast and busy. I spend as much time with them as they will let me. Thanks for your help

They are definitely not blue Swedish as I got one of those this year too. The blues have yellow bellies

They seem to really like hoodie pockets and the back of your neck when the hood is up. I think that it may mimic being under their mommas breast

Also, you may really want to rethink your bedding as they will try and eat it and it poses a possible choking hazard. Clean straw works really great and it is easier to clean up as well as being able to be put in your yard waste bin or worked into the garden.

Oh, they are precious! Runners, yes?

My girls started peep-honking at about 3 weeks. Just some of them. Took a few more weeks for everyone to get her big girl voice.

I have no idea, i bought them at tractor supply about 2 weeks ago. They made great friends with their 5 baby chick cagemates but don't care much for me. When i touch them they peep loud and alot, and try really hard to get away. When i put them back, they run and make a feather pile and get comforted by the chicks.

Silly birds! From when mine were wee little.

A baby duck showed up in my backyard (the dark one) with a green piece of tape on its foot. It was so small it fit in the palm of my hand. I know nothing about ducks but it was not peppy like a baby so I took it to the feed store thinking they wold know what to do with it maybe keep it? No I left with 2 ducks $60 worth of supplys I was told they were 1 week old the dark one being same size as there's was said to be the same but I think its a Little older. It is giting feathers first. They are now 5 week and we love them. I have 2 girls and they named them tumbles is the dark one and ducky mo mo is the one 28th the fro. Anyone know what kind they are? If they are boy or girl? And do I need to worry about more baby's?
