2 possible drakes, 1 Cayuga and a Welsh H.
Mommas in the line up. Saxony, Rouen (Ez1), Welsh H, Cayuga, Blue Swedish.

Now on to the pooping machines:
Photos below. I thought the dark ones definitely Cayuga but noticed one had some gray on its belly. I thought the gray one is offspring of the Blue Swedish; I understand it’s not easy to get a blue w/o proper drake (?). The Rouen is a given but the two yellow fellows I thought to be Saxony however I’ve seen folks w/ Welsh H having similar colors. The one definitely has a darker head and markings. I didn’t notice any substantial difference in the bill colors between the 2.
The last one is my solo peep. She loves her Tigger and her papa, yes she’s spoiled rotten to the core🥰. She cuddles at TV time.

Your thoughts & input are enjoyed. Looks like I’m back in the duck house for more trouble and poo clean up on every isle lol.

It’s been 25 yrs since college and I’m kinda proud I remembered as much as I did about the square but I think I just typed flowers and don’t recall any fauna.😆

Notice how almost every combination with the cayuga looks like a black or blue swedish duck? That's why when someone says a duck's breed is swedish you need to be skeptical. Pekins often carry similar genetics to the cayuga, so many of their hybrids look swedish too.
