Both are Cayugas. Probably not 100% pure, but nearly.
I agree that duck 2 looks like a mallard hybrid and the third way in the back actually looks like a mallard.
I agree,Cayugas are very pretty.
I thought they were awfully pretty, whatever breed they are.
Karen,the first one seems to be a Cayuga. The second seems to be a cayuga X mallard hybrid
