Thanks. There is a pure chocolate runner in the pics i got her seperate. I thought one looked like a blue ancona but the others as you can see are buff and white, brown and white hens and washed out mallard colored drakes.
I was wrong about the egg color i washed it off a little better and its white not green.
Here is my blue and white hen that i thought was ancona.

Maybe they have a little of everything in them? They are nice ducks regardless.
 
Thank you all! Like i said im kind of new to ducks. Ive had ducks before they were pekin runner crosses but they were destructive i sold them last spring and got these last fall. I like mixes so it doesnt bother me. They are colorful and thats what i like.

Jtn the flamingos and very well trained lol
the pond was built after i got my geese. I made a joking comment to my brother that they needed a pond. He used to run a dozer and he wanted a fishing pond(we are neighbors) He called some aquaintences next thing i know we had a free dozer dropped. Took a week to push it out & 6 mos of mud and waiting to fill up but it was worth it.

First let me disclaim being any sort of expert on duck breeds. I have Khakis and Cayugas which are both pretty easy to identify. Your pictures show a mix of breeds. In the first picture there are some that remind me of Anconas but maybe a mix? Another picture I am pretty sure I see a Saxony. There may be some Buff Oprington mix in there as well.

Really nice pond...wish I had something like that but in West Texas I would have to fight of water theives.

Oh, and I think I spotted a couple of Pink Flamingos in one picture. How did you ever get them to hold so steady for a picture?????
