what colour will my duckling turn out to be? moreee pics.

[Ducker123]

he/she has a light yellow body underneath and on her chest, but is a darker yellow on top and on her head, and she has pink feet and a pink bill.

and these are the parents, the male, and the darkest female.

Awww. I don't know a thing about ducks so I can't answer your question, but those are so pretty!

anyone know?

Well since its all yellow I would think white. But that might not be the case with the colors of its parents. Mmmmmhh......

 

[aineheartsyou]

maybe a buff color?

it appears to be a white duckling. Likely a recessive white gene hidden in those parent birds. Hatched white mallards once from a pair we had. Totally threw us for a loop for a while trying to remember what we had put into the incubator, since we had no pure white breeding birds at the time.

That could be it too. Didn't think of that.

ohh thanks everyone, the whole the parents being a completly different colour confused me completly! i did think it could be white. its not so obvious in the pictures but it defiantly has a darker head, neck and back area so buff could be the one.

here is a few updated pictures of her/him and her/him with its brother or sister.
