I just hatched some (likely mixed breed) ducklings from my own flock. I’ve hatched two other times from same flock and never had any of this color as ducklings so I’m just curious what you think they might look like as adults? Purely for curiosity because I have no idea! They don’t look like any of my “pure bred” (mostly hatchery stock) ducks did as ducklings.
There are two that are very similarly colored then the one darker one.

Blues. Likely to have the mallard colors and pattern. Drakes will likely have a dark blueish head rather than green. The overall plumage will have a silvery look to the feathering.

Some of my call ducklings look like your pictures and that is what I'm going by.

That would be very cool!
