My Call Ducks - Good, Bad or Average?

[racuda]

I'm not going to show them or sell eggs (assuming that I have a female!). I'd just like to know how they stack up for my own information. They are 6 weeks old.

Pet quality-bills are much too long for show.

Nice eyes though....but they have a lot more filling out to do...i would say average right now, thats only because of the bills, and its hard to tell the neck length right now.

I don't know anything about show quality, but they are cute as all heck!

they seem to stack one on top and one below.

but sweet little ones you have.

at 6 weeks old they all look like pet quality ducks....wait a couple more months. The bill will not get any longer at this point and the head will continue to fill out......then post a new picture. If I showed you a picture of our champion butterscotch duck at that age you would not belive it was the same duck.

Most people focus on bill length when judging call ducks, but just remember you are showing the whole bird, not just the bill.

I'm sorry, I know this isn't what you are looking for, but since I am ignorant when it comes to showing, I'll just tell ya what I think...I think they are reeeeaaalllllyyyyy cute... the seem so cuddly and sweet... I think I want a couple now.

bills are too long but if you found a really nice counter part that you could breed the bills smaller

Thanks for your opinions. I'm trying to develop an eye for these things.
I had high hopes when they were babies - they had super short bills and little round heads:
