What color is she?

Hi, I raised this duck for a friend, and I don't know what color to call her.

Speckled wheaten maybe. She is not random enough to be mottled and she has the female wheaten look to her color pattern.

call duck in size I would refer to her as a mini silver appleyard at first glance. Ducks dont follow color pattern names like wheaten and speckled like chickens

Thanks. Do you know the inheritance pattern for appleyard? (How do we make more?)

 

And yes, she is from a call duck mixed  color lock. It has black, chocolate and blue pieds.

you breed mini SA to mini SA. if she came from a mixed bag of call colors she is just that a mixed call

I would love a mini SA or a SA...I don't know much about duck colors, but at any rate, she is adorable!
