New arrivals :)

[Sammyr92]

Hi everyone,
I am new to forum but I joined as on Sunday i became the proud new owner of 2 ducklings (Quackers and Cheese) and unfortunaely received very little information as to the breed, gender or even the age of them.
After some serious investigation i have discovered that Quackers is a Mallard but i am still unsure as to the breed of Cheese
I have uploaded a picture of them (hopefully this will work) in the hope someone may be able to help me and possibly even estimate the age.
Thanks for reading

looks suspiciously like an Aylesbury about 2-3 weeks old possibly, should just be coming off chick crumb and be starting non medicated growers....

id say max of 2 weeks my ayslburys cayuga and pekin look much bigger, they may still need a heat sorce

Agree with the above - they look the same size as my 2 and a bit week old runner ducklings and they are still under heat too and on chick crumbs still - they will be until they are about 4 weeks old then a growers ration. You also need to make sure they don't have water to swim in as they are not feathered up yet so will just get waterlogged and cold - they need just enough to drink and submerge their beaks at this stage. Ditto the others the brown one looks like a mallard mix and the white an ayelsbury/pekin mix.
