These are our 8 week old birds. Very pretty lot, but not sure what 3 of the colours are. Identified a blue pied drake fairly easily, and a trout duck, but yes, some help on the next 3 would be fantastic!
If you know the genotype for the colours, also, that would be really, really helpful. Trying to place some of them in our breeding groups.

Bird on the left is a drake, but what colour is he?

And this pair, both ducks. I think the left is a cinnamon and the right a saxony/blue-gelb/apricot trout, but I'm only guessing.

And the 3 again

They didn't like the camera much so they were hiding in corners, so sorry for not having great shots of them.

Thanks for any help!
 
Would love some help with them as I need to decide what to keep and what to sell in the next few days, really, and I need to know what would go with our groups.
 
Going to push this up again because my mother wants me to get them sorted and sold ASAP, and I haven't been able to find anything online that tells me what colour they are.

Thank you for that. ^^
 
It's no problem. We have a few runner breeders who can hopefully identify the colors for you.
 
I'm really hoping they can.

I looked in "Colour breeding in domestic ducks", and although they don't show cinnamon, would it be classed as the "Blue-gold dusky"?

I know that both of them have eye stripes which is unusual for dusky birds, but I also read that "li/li" could lighten the bird enough to show some characteristics that normally get hidden. Can I assume then that both of them are still duskies?
 
i know nothing about the colour but he's cute :D
 
:D They're gorgeous, aren't they? xD I love them.
