Da' Cute and Cuddly Call Duck thread!

[keeperofthehearth]

Hi, everyone! I have snowy calls that I obtained from mini earlier this year. I LOVE them! I've been reading all I can to learn more about them.




I hatched this girl from them; her head is much darker than the hen's. Anyone know if this is typical? I'm wondering if she will lighten after molt. Sorry for the poor quality pic. She is a firecracker and constantly on the move. This was the best out of about 20 photos.

This one is just for fun:

Very pretty! Mine seem to all darken after molt....at least so far they have & some are heading into their third year.

Do the typical grays have this much white on them when they are juveniles?

..chest and tummies are all white. This guy was a breeding btwn a snowy hen or snowy pastel hen and a blue fawn drake. First generation appleyard pattern?

I know, but at least you had a definite timeframe. I don't yet even have a shipping date since it's dependent on the weather. I'm going to get back to them next Tuesday if I haven't heard anything by then.
