Are these actually golden 300s?

Hi, I recently bought 3 ducklings from a lady who had too many. She told me they were female golden 300 hybrids (sexed by the hatchery) but as they’ve grown they look nothing like any online pictures I can find of female golden 300s. They look more like the males but they do all seem to be quacking. I know with hybrids there is some variation in coloring but I really can’t find much information on these hybrids besides what are on Metzer farm website. Anyone have golden 300 experience that could weigh in? Here they are today, pictured with my two runner/welsh mixes. Thanks in advance for any insight! ❤

I am not sure what they are but they don’t look anything like the Goldens I had. Sorry! They are pretty though

They are pretty! They remind me of black Swedish. I’m not sure though.
Good luck!

I think they likely are, guess you will have to count the eggs to find out!

Those 3 girls look almost identical to my khaki/pekin hybrids. Hubby calls them calico khakis because they are brown, black and white. The brown can be seen in the feathers on the wings. They're a bit more talkative and louder than the parent breeds.
My avatar is our first khaki/pekin hybrid wearing her sock diaper.

So if you look on Metzer website about golden 300, " if you mate a Golden 300 Hybrid with another Golden 300 Hybrid, their progeny will hatch in blacks, yellows and browns with no relationship between sex and color." So their parents may be golden 300, but it would be hard to know.

They look the same as my golden 300s. So similar they could be hatchmates! Lol
