What kind of ducks do I have

[Katheran]

I am new to the group and I have been raising chickens for a year and I am brand new to raising ducks. Someone had two ducklings to give away and my husband brought them home a little over a month ago. I am wanting to know what kind they are. Any ideas?

The one is a snowy mallard I believe and the other might be East Indie? Here are mine

Hi and welcome to BYC. You could try posting on the duck forum for (not that I am in any way suggesting that yoopergirl is incorrect) for confirmation -

very pretty ducks, that's about all I know.

I could definitely be wrong lol. They are my favorite breeds so I see them everywhere!

Mine look just like yours so I would say you are right.

How do I know if they are boys or girls?

 

[yoopergirl1211]

If they are what I think they are the are Bantam ducks so they will be smaller then normal ducks and a little bigger then call ducks. The pics I posted still have some fuzz so I'll try to get new ones.

You should be able to tell by voice by now. The girls are very loud boys are quieter. If you look it up online you can find examples of both.
