Last year I bought some hatching eggs from someone who (to the best of my knowledge) only had white and grey call ducks. I decided to hatch some of their eggs this year, and knowing nothing about call duck genetics (but understanding a bit about genetics in general), I figured that I would get mostly greys and hopefully a couple of whites.
The first egg to hatch was this little one. The markings are a sort of soft, chocolate brown colour. I know sometimes surprises can pop up when it comes to breeding, so I am curious what colour it may be? It definitely does not look like the greys that I am accustomed to. I tried looking at pictures online, and the closest I could find was blue fawn... Although I'm not convinced. Is it possible for a grey to appear brown, instead of black?
Unfortunately due to poor lighting, the colours photographed darker than how they appear in person. If it's sunny tomorrow, I can try to get some better pictures.
