I think they all look adorable! Someone who has calls will be able to help you more. I have a blue Swedish duck that is way bigger than my other blue Swedish I think she’s bigger than everyone and she doesn’t have much of a bib. She’s the one in my profile pic.
I’ll tag @shawluvsbirds they have calls maybe they can help you!
Good luck!!

I have never ordered any ducks, but those chocolate ones are the ones you got from purely poultry?
Were they supposed to be pet quality or what did you order them as?
Those bills do look a little long.
Doesn't mean they aren't calls though. Some of mine have longer bills some are bigger bodied too.
But I don't really breed for anything specific. Mine are just pets I let them hatch some babies just for fun and I sell the extras as pet quality and don't ask a lot for them.

The Chocolates Are The Ones I Bought Through Purely Poultry. I Ordered Them As Specified On The Site As A Juvenile Pair. The Other Pic I Posted Are A Pair I Ordered As Pet Quality. The Pet Quality I Bought Look Alot Closer To Call Ducks Than The Chocolates. The Chocolates Are Way Bigger Body Size & Bill Size.

I poked around on their site a bit.
Some of the pictures they have on there look like they have pretty long bills as well.
A lot of people do like a little bit larger duck for breeding though the bigger sizes I think tend to be hardier than the little showy ones. And the smaller the next and bills get the harder time they have hatching.
I would probably be unsatisfied if I wanted them for showing purposes.
But just for pet quality or breeder they are still beautiful small ducks.

Here's a picture from their site..
This birds bill looks a little bit on the big side to me too.

Have you checked any breeders in your area, or tried checking on craigslist? That where I have acquired most of my Calls. The problem ordering from Purley poultry, is you're going to be paying a fortune for a pet quality-mallard-type Call, when you could get a high-quality Call from your local breeder for nearly the same price, or lower.

For reference, here are just some of my show-quality type Calls I got from a breeder up-north.

Thanks For All The Replies Guys. I Have 14 Other Calls Snowy , White And A Blue Fawn And Pastel. I Was Just Looking For Another Color & Thought Chocolate Would Be A Great Addition . But I Was Disappointed When I Finally Got Them Today I Ordered Them In August....
