Howdy y’all!

Well, the thread title kinda sums it all up 😂
I really am stumped on these colors I’ve got this year. The mamas are black & white (Favor) and Blue (Dakota, not a true blue) and the drake is blue (not true) or a lavender barred pied.

I do think duckling 5 is gonna be black & white, 6 looks like a lavender pied, 8 looks like a lavender barred, 10 I believe is a black pied (or chocolate), and 12 a true blue. The rest I’m real stumped on lol. I know 1-4 are barred but I have no clue what color! @Miss Lydia

The only one I can say what it could be is duckling #4 maybe barred? I had a few that looked like yours and they were barred. The others I can only say they are all gorgeous.

Okay thank you! Do you know what color barred he is?
 
She looks like the color is blk I use to have pictures of mine but my computer died and I lost all my pictures.
 
I also have these 3. Their faces are getting a barred look, but bodies are solid.

And after they molt a few times the barring is either gone or they will keep it. It’s amazing how much they change from molt to molt. Beautiful too! And your little chicken is adorable what breed?
 
I see a lot that look barred, but I only have one barred of my own to go off of, so I'm not close to 100% sure

Okay thank you! I know 1-4 are barred, but wasn’t sure on the color. Ducklings 9 and 7 i have no clue what they are, I’ve noticed the bit of barring, but I don’t know.
