What kind of ducks are we here?

[MeatNeggs2012]

I aquired these beautiful ducks a few days ago.I'm a first time duck owner and not sure what bred they are. Can anyone help??

 

[BattleFires]

The only ducks I know of that color are Kahki Campbells. Anybody agree with me?

 

[KYBOY]

Id agree..Look like Khaki's to me.

 

[Carcajou]

I agree they look like Khakis.

Thank you all so much. Is there any special care I need to give to these little guys?

Just don't throw them outside yet!

Make sure they stay warm and I don't let mine have anything to swim in until they start getting feathers. They can swim before then but you have to make sure they don't drown the first couple times. A container they can stand up in would be a good idea.

It looks like Carcajou would be the one to talk to since he has six.

good info here https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/750869/raising-and-caring-for-ducklings#post_10611711 only thing I will add is most of us here believe ducklings need food and water 12/7 for at least 4 weeks, that is when they are growing the most and need the nutrients for strong bodies after that time food and water can be taken away at night.

Looks like Miss Lydia beat me to the punch!
