I went out to take a peek and of course could not resist taking another picture! Although this shows her more. Story goes like this my son wanted to show call ducks. Got several from a local 4H respect breeder. Went in the coop in the morning several months after and found heads all taken off except for one which happen to be an excape artist. We have GPYR but what ever it was at the time they couldn't get it. A week later they killed a opposum! With that I found someone who was closer who had calls (I am still learning my colors) not show grade but close in color. I kinda did the good mom deed replaced them and the lady who got them from I got a trio of what she called pastels. My son of course was so excited because it was his birthday and saw I got him three new calls...
Sorry to make so long Anyway I was trying to find a quality drake for my escape artist from another breeder and had brought pictures of her to show him. He happen to see the picture of this call duck and started going nuts. He said it was a very rare silver appleyard call. So I don't know what she really is but if anyone knows let me know! Her ducklings would most likely also be the same coloring.

Well I think your right about the Silver Appleyard Call, nice looking duck. WOW, your lucky..

Look what I found this morning! I don't know how many it doesn't matter they are alive and hatching! Fresh water and game starter crumble right outside for when she is ready to take them out. Can't wait!

She is a Call Duck... And from what it seems and what I am told and everyone is guessing color wise she is a silver appleyard which is very rare in calls. Hope that helps

If you ever want to sell some of her eggs, I would be interested. I love the coloring on her!!!

Thanks will keep you in mind.

I have another hen who also looks just like her and below is the drake I have that I am going to use and mate them but she is also sitting.

Will see what happens and if I can get her back laying soon with the drake then I will put the eggs up. Don't know though.
