What is she?

[helkat]

We hatched 4 ducklings in our bator and then picked up two "special" ducks from Tractor Supply that were right around the same size. They were special because every single one of their duckling had dark feet, but Crystal had pink feet and Speckle had speckled feet.

So, here is Crystal. Smaller than our others, but not by *too* much. Much lighter in color, though.

Maybe a snowy mallard? I doubt TSC had those though, but they normally do have mallards. So I would think she is an off-color mallard

Silver Appleyard.

If they ordered an assorted duck deal, they could have depending on where they ordered from. Here is a link to Snowy Mallards, but she looks a little darker than what is in this picture: https://secuservices.com/ideal/newideal/selectproduct.aspx?qty=1&ID=SMLDP&Product=1395

But, then again, she looks too dark to be a Silver Appleyard.... http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/Ducks/Apple/BRKApple.html

One other thing I noticed is that this duck has a blue wing band, the appleyards don't. So I'm gonna stick with either snowy mallard or 'off-colored' mallard

She looks like a Welsh Harlequin to me. Check out the photos from Holderread's.
