I have some 1week ducklings that I am curious what colour they will be. Parents were runner x pekin (pictured below) female was silver but not sure what colour you call the drake-he has the green head etc but is also grey spotted. He was dark brown when I got him, then brown almost like scales before his final moult. Hen was all yellow.
I will get some photos of the ducklings. Any help would be appreciated!

These are the ducklings, 2x yellow. 2x yellow with brown tips, 2x pale brown and 3x dark brown with varying yellow around the bills-1 has developed a little bit of yellow on the back of the neck that I’m sore wasn’t there initially. I feel pretty confident the yellow will become silver but the other ones not sure

All I know is they are gorgeous and will change much more over the next weeks until fully feathered then we'll know colors for sure. Chocolates are easy to spot also Blues and blacks. My fawn and whites were mostly yellow when tiny as my silver was all yellow. Keep the pictures coming.
