TSC duckling I.D. help please. I have 3 of the black ones that im hoping are cayugas. I have no idea on the silvery/gray and yellow one.

So is it y'alls opinion that the 3 blacks are cayugas? If so I'll consider that a jackpot. Its a win either way because I got ducks. Just really wanting some cayugas.

That's so weird. They really do look like Mallards, but almost like a dusky variation or something. Where does your TSC source their ducklings from?
I know Calls come in a lot of colors, maybe it could be a really poor quality call? I don't know. I looked at Saxony ducklings online again too, it just doesn't look right for that.
Whatever it is, it's very closely related to a Mallard.

Imo, any duckie is a good duckie.

Super cute!

Tsc and all the farm stores in my area get their birds from Hoover's.

I vote for Golden Cascade!

 

[Mojoe1976]

I think I may have found it. Golden 300.
Someone said that. I'll have to look back to see who.

It’s a female golden 300 or golden cascade. Essentially they’re like red star chickens.

I think y'all are probably right. Didn't see those on the website.
