Yeah, purplefrog, what she said.
See how nicely I crawfished out of that?
He does have decent conformation and if he IS a dusky, purplefrog, that would be AWESOME for you.
duckluck-his coloration is similar to my Butterbean, isn't it? His head looks more brown that green, doesn't it?
Well, I think his head looks to be too dark of a blue for a Butterscotch. The Butters I have seen be this dark in the head are also usually darker in the body, but still not this uniform in color. He reminds me more of a Khaki but with a blue head. At least that is how it appears on my end, but not all browsers display colors the same on every computer.
I didn't mean to imply that I think he is in an eclipse molt, Walt...I don't think so. What I was trying to say is, it would be the only way I would think a color that I am more familiar with *could* look this way. But I don't think this is an eclipse molt...that would be unusual at this time of the year and he appears to have too much "bloom" on him for that. Ducks I have seen in eclipse usually have a rather dull appearance about them and they just don't look right somehow, like they're not quite here or there. I really think this guy is showing his true color right now.
Purplefrog, I am finding that the NCBA site is offline at the moment, but if you go on there later to the Store section and look up the posters of the varieties, there might be some info on there to be had...they have a lot of the unusual UK colors on those that we don't often get to see.
Hmmm...not sure why the NCBA site would be down. We are not making updates at the moment. I will have to check into that.
I agree with everyone else.....not a silver appleyard.
