Khaki Campbells with yellow necks? *** Updated w/pics ***

[AbundantAcres]

Just a curious thing I've noticed... 2 of our 16 Khaki Campbell ducklings have yellow necks. The rest are the color they are "supposed" to be. Is this unusual for Khaki's? And is it possible that the hatchery mixed them w/something else? Just want to know, it won't matter much in the end as we've fallen in love w/these two and they aren't going anywhere. lol

All 3 are the same duckling as the other one was sleeping, lol. But they both look like this... any ideas?

Can you get pics? Some of mine are lighter under their necks, having kind of a dark creamy yellow look, kind of washed out with the normal Kahki duckling coloring.

Yep, I'll get some pics tomorrow and read up on posting them. Suppose it's time to learn how anyway. lol

It took me forever to figure it out, and it is really pretty simple, but I was like

I posted pics of mine here:

I guess the lighter part isn't really under the neck, more on the chest. Can't wait to see yours!

Thanks for your answers everyone!!!

One of mine had a little yellow ring, but nothing that big? I'm sure it will probably go away when they feather out.

It's been a while since mine were that small, but I remember a lot of them having big yellow patches.They are big brown monsters now.

Yeah, those are much bolder than the color on mine. Still look very much like Kahkis though! Cute ducks!

I know that cayuga females have white on their chest when hatched but none of my khakis have had this much

Does that mean that females of cayugas hatch out black and white and the boys hatch out all black?
