What color will this duckling mature into? I started with a male Rouen and a female pekin. This is the third generation and they had been 75 percent wild color, 25 percent white. The down on this one makes me think it will look more like a silver Appleyard but I would like to hear others opinion.

Appleyard ducklings have their coloration restricted to their heads and tails, so probably not. This guy’s color just seems lighter. Perhaps something from the Pekin’s genes, or a color mutation?
