What breeds are these ? Very cute!

No chicks this time but have a newly hatched duckling (2 hrs old). It was premature and still had some yolk in shell but wasn't attached. Still in incubator. I believe this duckling is a chocolate Runner and khaki Campbell mix. Only have Runner ducks but have 2 Runner drakes (fawn/white and a blue) and 2 khaki Campbell (father and son). She doesn't stand as erect as her hatch mates that are full Runner. View attachment 2756656

UPDATE:
3 more hatched. 2 yesterday (morning, late evening), 1 (yellow) Monday evening. 3 are very vocal with higher pitch voices, the grayish with yellow tipped wings & larger head has a quieter muted voice. I'm guessing I might have 2 females and a male.

Usually they'd be in the coop nursery under a heat lamp but with them hatching over several days, I kept them in the house. I bought a clear 66qt. tote, used shelf liner with paper towels underneath and added the bottom of a small incubator for heat, secured it to the side. I placed a thermometer/hydrometer opposite of heater, it's been staying around 95° with 70% humidity. We're having constant daily storms with humidity & only a room AC for a 700sqft home that I don't like running during storms if lightening so it's a little humid inside. I've got the lid on tote but have it propped open opposite corner from heater. I'm giving them a few days to get stronger before putting them in the nursery attached to my main coop.

All 4 ducklings, just added 4th.

Last night, the babysitter with 3 ducklings. 4th was still in incubator (yolk sack was still attached). She slept in the recliner next to them last night (up several times checking on them).

Nap time

I can't wait to hatch more in a few months.

They are soooo cute! We had a babysitter too! Our dog guarded them all day long. Trained him not to put his paws on them. Still the chicks snuggled in his fur. He was overjoyed!
