Thinking about possibly expanding breeds.Here’s

[Quacking Pigeon]

I have been interested in expanding my duck breeds for a while. I have thought about getting Australian Calls, Cayugas, Swedish Blacks, and bantam breeds. I came across this ad on Gumtree, for a pair of mini appleyards for $100. The drake is an peach/apricot Appleyard, and the duck is a silver. Do you think I could show these ducks?

Here’s some pics from the ad:

I’m pretty sure the drake is the most off colour, as he should have the white lines above and below his eyes, and he should have more white...

What do you think?

I have also found an ad for Aussie Calls on a different website. The ducks seem pretty good with size, and bill length.

Some other mini appleyards from the same person. This drake looks better as he has the white eye stripe.

Also, some other mini appleyards from someone closer. They are a trio, $50 each.

Which ones look better

Edit:
Just looked at some pictures of some Silver Applyards in my Australian Poultry Standards book. The first drake seems quite good, I can’t really tell with the other one as it still looks to be in eclipse or fairly young. None of the ducks are good though.
