anyone have an idea of color and why
 
I don't know how I missed this thread! I posted on your other one as well, but the short response is that those are not BEI. They are either Khaki Campbells or Campbell mixes. Since you also have Khaki Campbells, the most obvious explanation is that one of your drakes bred one of your BEI. FYI- I have even seen ducks mate through fences before, so even if they were completely separate, it is feasible. The chances that it is a random mutation is about nil. The color of duck you would need to create that would have to carry sex-linked brown dilution and you just happen to have the breed that carries that, so that is the most likely scenario I think. LOL

I DO NOT have campbell my friend in TN has them we bought a farm together I so not live there yet I ONLY have BEI nothing more just them so there is no way her duck got mine 500+ miles away, Also I live in the city and no one around me has a duck also scince the first snow none of my animals will leave the animal house and it is 100% enclosed so nothing is getting in there and when the did go outside there enclosed in there also but they have not been out
