Call Duckling Colours

[pizzaduck]

Hello!

I recently hatched out some Calls this past weekend. I had bought the eggs from a farmer and when I asked what colours the parents might be, he said he had whites, greys, blues (didn't indicate blue fawn or blue bibbed), snowy & pastel.

I have 3 ducklings that have hatched and I'm guessing one is black bibbed? But I'm stuck on the other two.

Let me know what I might be expecting! I'll try to update when they get their adult feathers in, too.

I *believe* you have 1 Black bibbed and 2 blue bibbed Call ducklings... @chickens really could tell you for sure.

Welcome to BYC!
Maybe @WVduckchick , @Pyxis , @shawluvsbirds , or @MagpieDucks will know.

Yup, I agree with @HuffleClaw, Two blue bibbed and 1 black bibbed

Thank you all for such prompt replies! I really appreciate the input. I googled more and it looks like blue bibbed/black bibbed probably is the case. I was hoping for a mallard type of pattern after hearing the possible parent types but I guess you never know with eggs! I'll love them to death regardless

They are adorable!

It's unanimous

I also agree. No telling what colors might pop up if they’re bred together, considering their background.
