Dutch Hookbill ducks

Pics
I know I'm late to the party but I'm too much of a sucker for hook bills not to post. I have only four but I'd love to get more: two mallard type females, their mother the light brown Aleutian?, and a snowy drake who is the sweetest drake known to humanity.

Do any of your hookbills have totally black feet? Or did they at hatching? I have one mystery duck that I have been told is a hookbill, and it has totally black feet. It is mostly black with a slight olive sheen, and a slightly lighter belly. No bib. I thought the dusky color has yellow feet, and that the blacks are super rare if not gone. I see many interesting colors in these pictures, so I thought you were a good person to ask.

To be clear, my duck is newly hatched, out of an egg that was supposed to be a Welsh Harlequin. All the others were. Then this little black duck popped out. :0
