Hatched these 2 and was told were Mini Silver Appleyards???

[ducky213]

Ordered some Miniature Silver Appleyard eggs from Golden Girls Classy Chicks this spring and hatched these 2.
Are they in fact Mini Silver Appleyards? They didn't hatch yellow, rather they looked like grey call duck ducklings. While they are very pretty I do not wish to breed them and or sell them if misleading. I Google the breed and come up with images that correlated to what I have but the ducklings are supposed to breed true and be yellow not brown. Images are of the duck and drake now and one of them as a duckling this past April.

Duckling colour does not matter....They change as they mature....In most cases the brown are drakes...

Yours could be Call crossed with the miniature Appleyard to get that colour...

Here are mine....the one far off is a miniature Appleyard Hen..Those are Ducklings....
The other two is a standard Appleyard Drake duckling and a Runner....
