I was at a chicken sale last night and there was a pen labeled Snowy Call Duck pair. Naturally I was interested, even with no experiance and limited knowledge. I won the auction at $36 for the pair! For the prices I've seen on call ducks I consider this a steal even if they aren't totally awesome quality. They do look like call ducks, small with the round head and small beak and that's all I'm asking.

Here's my question: can the female snowy call duck be solid white?

There's no doubt in my mind that the drake is a snowy but im not sure bout the female. Most pictures I see the female is either mostly white with some brownish or brownish with some "frost" look to some feathers.

If the female isnt supposed to be solid white, can I still get some good babies from the pair?
 
No, a Snowy hen isn't White-that's a White hen.
Can you post some pictures of them?
This is a picture of a pair of my Snowys right after they arrived. My hen's body has too much fawn in it(should be more white), but just so you can see an example.

That's what I figured but I still love them. Any guesses at what the babies might look like? I can attempt pictures when I get home but I'm not sure I can do it on my iPhone.
 
sounds like you got just a white duck there. I don't know what the offspring of a snowy drake and white hen would be. Hope someone can answer this as I am interested in learning.

I wish I could help you there-I am still wading through most of the color genetics of Calls myself and mostly just feel like banging my head against the wall!

You live right up the road a ways from me-howdy neighbor!
 
Hahaha yes I am thrilled to just have the little guys as I thought I could never afford any. I was just at the right place at the right time. I'm just curious what they might produce.

I'm about 45 minutes east of lufkin. Where are you?
