Hi, we hatched a duckling yesterday and she has slightly different markings to any we have had before. Her mum is a call duck and we think her dad is a Muscovy but we're not sure. We also have a mini silver appleyard drake and lots of calls. What do you think she is? Her name is mica.

Looks like it has some appeyard in it. However, many times duckling markings are rather superficial and don't have any bearing on how they turn out. This was true for my Welsh Harlequins. The darkest duck with the lightest pink beak (and no name) became Snow....the whightest of the ducks with a black beak. Sun, on the other hand, has retained a bright yellow beak and feet--much brighter than even the White Crested who's features were much more distinct as a baby. So it may be better to hold off judgment till the wee one gets a bit bigger.
 
Thanks! @seashoreduck I'll wait and see what she looks like when she's older
