Got these 2 cuties from Coastal Farm today. Just assorted SR bin. They are very light compared to the rest that were in the bin and their eye stripes aren't both solid. I'm assuming Rouens of some sort but

No, not Rouens. They could both be Mallards, I suppose.. I found this post that shows 2 ducklings that look very similar to yours, and they’re believed to be Mallards.

Interesting...the bin didn't have mallards on the label as one of the possibilities. Thanks!

They look like Blue Mallards to me but that is not a duckling Hoover’s hatchery (who supply Coastal Farms) sells. If they are Mallards, I believe they should each have one of their back toes missing. All domestic Mallards are required by law to have one removed to tell them from wild Mallards.

Well they definitely have their back toes

Hoovers also has Golden Cascades...so maybe. Guess I'll find out soon enough

After a lot of searching I'm sticking with Golden Cascades that accidentally ended up in the Hoover's Duck Assortment shipment to Coastal last week
