    Help identifying duck breed

    Hi everyone, I just got these two ducklings dropped off to me and I need help identifying their breed. Apparently they’re both female but that’s about all I know. Pics aren’t the best but hopefully enough, I have chickens but don’t know the same amount about ducks.
