Has anyone seen a Mallard with this coloring?

5 weeks, this was has started to quack already so am pretty sure it’s a female.

Time will tell.

It looks like you may have gotten a rare “blue Fawn” Mallard.

Just google that. So pretty!!!

Time will tell.

I am too impatient lol.

Blue fawns may lay a green tinted egg while natural mallards produce a cream/white colored egg. This may be another way to tell when laying.

Thanks for sharing that with me! Very interesting and we’ll keep an eye on that

There may be some Call DNA in her heritage.

The bill color of this bird indicates a female to me.

Hi All,

Has anyone seen a mallard with this coloring before? We got her at TSC and the other three we got have the more traditional coloring.

She is very pretty

Really? All 3 of my mallard girls laid greenish eggs, and they're regular mallards, as far as I can tell. Definitely not that pretty blue fawn variety.
