Anyone got pics of TSC ducklings from this year?

[Sweetfolly]

Oh great - now I'm going to have to drop by my local TSC and see if they have any Snowy Mallards. Or Black East Indies - my boyfriend has been drooling over those, and he just wants a few as pets.

Here's an interesting thread about a BYC member's Snowy Mallard ducklings (with pictures!): https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=197393

Would anyone be interested in buying eggs if I turn out getting them and getting a drake and hen?

Mallards have a line over their eye and like a half-broken line/dot under that on their face.
Rouens will have two solid lines on their face.

Hope that helps.

They might have had a different strain of mallards available with the blue coloring??
I know with Australian Spotted bantam ducks that they can have blue or green heads, so maybe mallards can be different too?
Never seen any colors other than green, so you might have stumbled onto something interesting there!


Edit-
Snowy Mallards?
I had some Silver Appleyards from eggs off of eBay once that were very light like that duck is. They were almost entirely white but had the brown uhh... natural flecking? in their feathers.

Our TSC only had Pekins

Whoa, what's with that purple light?

A lot easier on the eye than those harsh red bulbs.

Yours look like 2 pekins, a blue swedish and a rouen

There's one with his eye on the photographer. You should have bought that one.

I swear, they jumped in my car without me knowing. Really. Khaki Campbells from Privett Hatchery via TSC. I had to retouch the photo because the red light was making everything bright red.
