Welsh Ducklings or Welsh Mixes?

[MerryFeather]

We hatched out a couple ducklings today. The eggs were from our flock. Our drake is a Welsh Harlequin and we have Welsh, Buff, and Khaki ladies. Has anyone seen a Welsh/Buff or Welsh/Khaki mix duckling? All 4 ducklings we have hatched look very Welsh. Except for the bill color. Do you think these ducklings from today are pure Welsh, Welsh/Buff, or Welsh/Khaki?

They are adorable and look like Welsh Harlequins to me. I have hatched Welsh x Khaki and they were all brown or dark brown with eye stripes (below). I do not have any experience with buff though.

So cute! Are those all Welsh/Khaki ducklings?

Yes, I had it the other way, male Khaki x female Welsh so they were sex-linked. The dark one were boys, lighter ones were girls. You would only get the darker ones (boys and girls) with your cross.
