My Call ducks are currently 20 days old and I’m wondering if anyone could tell him how they look for their age, and if they could be show-quality, I know the bill size and body proportions are important but other than that, I’m stuck????

Don't look like Calls to me? White meat Ducks or white layers? If kept in a heat controlled area they don't feather as quickly as ones kept out in a cooler area. Bill colour isn't right. Head shape and body too long. Long bills too.

I’ll be gutted if they aren’t Calls, I got them from a breeder that only had call ducks....

You have to be careful because people sell white meat/layers as Call Ducklings because certain ones are bigger than Calls but not tiny like show Calls. I used to breed calls myself and pretty good eye for catching the fakes.
