Photos would help please. The first two may be Khaki Campbells - the most common domestic duck, not sure about the blue and pink one - did you get it from Woolworths

PICS ADDED.

any suggestions,thelady had had them from day olds and says they are 3/4 months although they are quite big and look older to me,at what age will they lay,presume they can be fed layers pellets as p.o.l.

I have a girl that I hatched in the incubator that is fairly similair and I think she is a Khaki Campbell crossed with an Aylesbury, purely because I bought 6 eggs that were meant tp be KK and 6 that were meant to be Aylesbury - all from the same place.

are you sure they are all girls?? All our boys do have a different shade of feathers on the head but none of the girls.

Ducks have a very loud Quaak quak quak quak quak. spoken five to seven times, whilst drakes have a very soft quaik spoken with a second or two between each.
