Duckling breed

I purchased these 2 ducklings labeled as mixed breed straight run ducklings can anyone help me with a breed identification.

If they walk low to the ground, like they appear to, I’d say the brown one is a Khaki Campbell, and the black one is a Cayuga.

If the ad said mixed breed, they're probably of mixed ancestry. Once they grow and feather out, it may be easier to tell what that ancestry is.

I thought they meant ‘mixed’ as in, assorted ducklings

I see 2 white layer ducks, 1 khaki campbell, and one black mallard . I got a black mallard from TSC once before. I was hoping it was a cayuga but nope

Do you have pictures of the black mallard? I don't think I've seen, or even heard of one before.

It's a good feed, but I'd still supplement with extra niacin while they're growing. You can find nutritional or brewers yeast at the store, like Walmart, or buy it online, like Amazon.
