Just a quick question, what is the color of their speculum? Is it violet blue, or green, or brownish black? They are very pretty ducks regardless. If you have any genetics questions I found that this site helps: http://kippenjungle.nl/kruisingEend.html but keep in mind some american colors of the call duck are not the same as the brittish. To sort out the name differences this website helps they have pictures of both the brittish and american colors, and use that information for the genetic calculator. Example is snowy(blue speculum) here is Silver there so for the calculator you would select silver. Spot here(green speculum color) is blue silver there. You may also have a chocolate silver(brownish black speculum) which does not have a name for the color in america yet. I actually hatched out one last spring and she is beautiful. Do you know how old the ducks are? sometime it take awhile for them to come into their full colors.
