Would someone be able to help me with my duckling breeds?

[quendar]

We have 8 adorable ducklings that we hatched almost a week ago. We got the eggs from a local hatchery. I know he gave us some khaki campbell eggs, but I'm not sure what else he gave us.
We have...
2 very black ones, with black feet and beaks - Do they look like Black Swedish ducklings?
1 Mostly black, but a bit more yellow around his neck and eyes, and a little yellow on his beak
1 grayish/brownish one, with brown beak and brown feet - Khaki Campbell?
3 grayish/brownish ones, mixed with yellow - Are these Khaki Campbells also???
1 mostly yellow one - ?????? (My favorite

"Ming Ming")

Hmmm, none of them look particularly Khaki Campbell-like! Maybe the one third from the left in the 5th pic... How many did you incubate? Is it possible that the campbells didn't hatch? The rest look possibly blue and black swedish..?

I'll try a guess. Where there is yellow now will be white when they are adults.

Are you sure they are all pure breeds?

A full black is most likely Cayuga. Here are mine at a few days old. There are Black Cayuga, Khaki Campbell, and Welsh Harlequin in the picture. The KCs are all brown.

Your ones that are gray and yellow make me think of Blue Swedish. I guess they could also be Blue Magpie. Black and yellow ducklings probably are Magpie.

My bibbed Dutch Hookbills looked a lot like your first picture when they were ducklings.

Have fun.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that their breed is... cute duckies!! I have no idea what they might but those are really cute

We originally had 12 eggs from him. 3 weren't fertile, one developed fine until the end, but never hatched.

I guess it is possible that those were the Khaki Campbell eggs that he gave us. Our one duckling is a bit darker, with no yellow, and brown beak and feet, I thought maybe that one would be a Khaki, but it isn't as dark as the ones BeccaOH has in their picture.

When I think back I do remember him saying something about Blue Swedish, so I am sure that's what some of them are. Do you think our yellow one is the same as the others or another breed? It does look like the Welsh Harlequin picture.
It was so fun watching these little guys hatch and seeing their different colorings. 4 of them are being given to my daughters friend. We can't decide which ones to give her though.
Thanks for you ideas on what kind they are!

Yeah that may be what happened then. That one in the photo could possibly be a Campbell, but it's not really a proper brown, it's more greeny-brown... Hmm, that one lighter one could be WH but I'm not an expert at them

The whole fun of it is waiting to see what they look like as adults!

But having to give away 4!? That's awful, I couldn't do that

tha 1 in pic #4 is a blue Magpie i believe...colored back, spot of color on head,primarily white neck and chest and belly.....Magpie.
Blue Swedish in last pic....Blue with a white "heart shape" on chest(Magpie right behind it.) Black Swedish are the same " heart" marking but black not blue. Clueless about the others

I have seen TONS of pics of black sweetish, and the few that are black and yellow i would say they are most definitely Black sweetish. and i would say that those 2 grayish ones are khaki Campbell cause that is what my khaki Campbell looks like.

 

[FenDruadin]

That does look rather like a blue magpie, and a rather nicely marked one at that (as much as can be determined from a photo). I'd be surprised to see magpies in a mixed batch of eggs, though, so it's possible it's something else entirely that just happened to have been marked similarly to a magpie (anconas, mixed breeds of various sorts, can get these markings by luck). Can you find out what breeds he raises? That would help a lot in identification.

I agree with AdamD77. None of them look like the Khaki Campbells I received from Holderread's a couple of weeks ago. Cute healthy looking ducklings, but no "pure" K/C's I think.
