What with these ducklings look like grown?

[Tretinker]

Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out what the duckling colours will be and I can find tons of ducklings with this pattern but not what they look like grown so does anyone have any idea what colour the brown ducklings with 4 yellow spots on their backs, although the one on the right the pictures aren't obvious for

If you have pictures that would be amazing!

Thank you!

Thing is the parents could be different colors mated together and their parents might be a mix of different colors so until they feather out you'll really not know how they are going to be. It's amazing how much they change.

They may very well be wild type mallard/Rouen colored birds.

Still no idea what colours our boys are especially as one boy seems to have the colours of a female mallard is this maybe because they don't have their adult feathers? I'm not sure I have that correct though.

So we have:

Lotus a light brown mallard girl kind of colour but pretty sure he's a boy.

Dodger a darker brown but similar pattern to lotus again we think boy

And of our two new girls one I'm not sure what colour she is or will be, her name is Moon Pie and she came to us with a greyish down and now seems to have a very light brown that fades to grey feathering to her. I have absolutely no idea what she could possibly look like grown. One of her pictures is after custard and shows her stood up.

A picture of custard to show how beautiful she is .

Are you offering travel pay?

If I could, I would, but no, you'll have to settle for room and board. And a yard full of ducks!

I can handle that. But your prime minister won't let me in.

He's a knob...

Where did you get them from? They look a lot like my Khaki cross ducklings so I am thinking they may be Golden 300 hybrids. If so, the one on the left will be female and look similar to a Khaki Campbell. The one on the right will be male and look similar to a black Swedish.

From a smallholding near me, she had every colour of runner duck imaginable but I didn't really take note I was too excited!
