They sure are pretty, I saw call ducks in person for the first time yesterday, oh my goodness so adorable, I fell in love.

Yes, I'm starting to develop a crush on calls, myself. Are you sure, philandolivia, you don't want to find two females and have a couple of couples? They are so small, after all . . . .

Ducks... can't have just one of one type. By accident or infatuation you end up with a male of one breed... you gotta get him a girlfriend... next thing you know you're breeding hehe!!

I'm not so sure they're snowy call ducks. They look like they could be mallards: snowy's have a more compact, rounded body, and a very short bill.

As for the color: they're not snowy: notice how the tail is greyish-blue? Snowies would have black there. Also, take a close look at the color of their heads. It looks like their head is a dark charcoal-grey rather than metalic green. Also, no blue wing speculum: it's been diluted to grey. Looks like they are harlequin with one blue dilution gene! Which is very cool. That would be an awsome color to work with: You need a female!

should i put snowy ducks with them do you think or would there be a dif breed be best with them? Cheers

Yup, color-wise I'd put them with snowies. You'd get half snowies, and half snowy with blue dilution (assuming there are no hidden genes, which there probably are)
