What will they look like when they are all grown up?

I get that question from just about everyone who sees the boys or a picture of them so I thought I would talk about that today. Let's start with Pierce, who is the darker one...
Pierce is a Blue Swedish duck which is considered a medium sized duck that will weigh between 6.5 and 8 pounds and are supposed to be very calm birds. Below is a picture of a typical adult male Blue Swedish so Pierce should look something along the lines of this...

Harvey is a Welsh Harlequin duck which is considered a lightweight duck with adult males being about 6 pounds and also a very calm duck and compared to Pierce, Harvey is way more calm :) below is a picture of a typical pair of Welsh Harlequins with the male (or drake) on the right. Harvey could look something like that...
...or closer to a large mallard like this...Harvey will be somewhat of a surprise, but however he turns out, I know he will be a very handsome drake, he already has the most gorgeous gray eyes, almost like Peeps :)
