A fairly odd duckling.

Hello, I am fairly new here but I did look and I could not find anything that matched this and I am very curious as to what this could be.

I have two new rouen ducklings with my two khaki ducklings, one looks normal with the dark coloring, but the other looks like a rouen with the markings, but it looks as though the printer ran out of ink. I got these from Tractor Supply so I am not sure if this could be a mixed breed thing or if this duckling has some sort of genetic color mutation.

Looks like a dilute coloring of some sort. @WVduckchick , what do you think ?

Looks blue to me.
A quick google search did bring up some blue and pastel rouens, though I’ve never seen any here.
@Isaac 0 @Pyxis might have some input?

Yeah, it also looks like blue fawn to me. Being from TSC, it might not actually be a rouen, or the hatchery could have had an 'oops' and it might be a crossbreed.
