Which breed?

[Houndgirl]

Hey everyone! New member & first time posting. I recently purchased some young ducks. I’m having some trouble determining which breed 3 of them are. Two are large ducks, one is small. I am thinking two Rouens & a mallard but I’m not sure.

@Miss Lydia is absolutely AMAZING! She is really wonderful at identifying duck breeds. You have some beautiful ducks! I wish I could help more but I am new to ducks. The sweet friend I tagged above had to help me identify my own ducklings.

The three brown birds appear to be two Rouens and a mallard. Very likely Rouen drakes and a mallard hen going by bill color - which is not always 100 %

I appreciate the confidence but I have problems identifying many breeds. I usually call on a few other members that usually get it first time. I do agree with @sourland.

Thank you all! I will keep it updated as they get older. I have two ducklings in question too, I think they are possibly fawn & white runners? I purchased them from Tractor Supply. I asked the employees but they were clueless. Those pictures were about 5 weeks ago. They are much bigger now, still stand up straight but lost the coloring on their heads.
