I'm trying to figure out what color my latest call ducklings are...
They look exactly like grays -- just like their dad looked like as a duckling -- but I'm very sure dad isn't a gray. I'm actually not really sure what he is.
I have 3 dark ducklings that look like grays and one that's slightly lighter in color. The mom is a butterscotch but this duckling isn't light enough to be a butter.
Maybe it's a female and the other three are males? I know some breeds can be sexed by down color.
I'll try to get some pictures up today of dad, mom and the babies.
When dad was in his drake feathers he had a very green head, a white chest and belly, blue primary feathers and kind of brownish feathers everywhere else. He definitely is an odd looking fellow. =]
I was told he might be a dark mini appleyard. Maybe he's a mix of both gray and appleyard.
Alright, off to get pictures!
