I've got 9 little mixed ducklings! They're from a fawn and white runner hen and a rouen drake. Most have striped faces like the rouen did as a baby but their bodies are a light brownish/yellow color all over, a couple have less defined stripes on their faces and the same brownish/yellow colored bodies, and one is yellow and brown patches. Some even have blue eyes like their mom, they're so cute! Has anyone else had this same cross? I've seen some pretty ones from a rouen hen with a runner drake, but the runner looked much darker than mine. I think my runner is mixed with something else-she's from a feed store-she looks bulkier and is a lot lighter in color than the examples I looked at. I'm excited to see what they grow into!

Thank you! Guessing at what our barnyard mixes grow up to look like is always one of my favorite parts of keeping chickens and ducks!

Ducklings are fully feathered out. My favorite are the Welsh harlequin hen and buff orpington drake mixs. The two buff colored ducks. I got one pure Welsh. And the rest are cayuga drake and black swedish hen mixs. But they are all just black. They do seem to have more green, purple, blue sheen to them which is nice.
