They look like domestic ducks, but im not a duck owner so I have no clue. They are adorable!

my main concern is it gets to be -40s here during winter, if they are domestic they wouldnt be able to migrate but if they are wild then i dont want to be stealing them.
There's at least one cross in there, so they're likely dumps. Be careful taking them in, though. Isolate for at least a month. Having been "in the wild" for a bit, they may have been exposed to things you don't want to introduce to your flock.
If you don't already have birds, just keep an eye on them for signs of illness. They look pretty healthy, so they're likely fine, but quarantine is ALWAYS a smart choice!

for sure, my ducks are purebred too so i dont want them crossing anyways. probably toss them in the barn (good distance away) and rehome them. just dont want them to die when winter hits

update: apparently they can fly very well so they should be fine, must have been outcrossed with wild ones. also apparently there's lots there. might just be a different species of wild duck or i dont know. its really weird.
