These are my 2 drakes and they are definitely 2 different varieties but which ones. I'm thinking the darker one is the dark variety but he has light feathers mixed in. The lighter one is either the khaki or light variety but not sure. I'd like some help in figuring the varieties out. The photos I've found so far don't say the color variety. All my Khaki Campbell's ducks originally came from TSC but I got them through a friend.

Thanks!

Are they the same age? My regular Khaki drake looks similar to the top one in Eclipse plumage and the bottom one, towards the end of breeding plumage. How long have you had them? One may just have molted before the other.

I've had both since last year. The lighter one was gotten 4/29/17 at a week old, the darker one was gotten on 5/24/17 at 8 or 9 weeks old so he's about a month older. The darker one started molting in mid Jan and had completely changed coloring by March. I had to check my videos of them to see when he was molting. I keep records (written, photos and videos) on all my pets as much as possible.

Campbell is a breed, Khaki is a variety, the only accepted one, however their are a rare few of others.
Since they were both marketed as Khaki Campbell, the variety of both of them is Khaki.
One is in eclipse plumage, because he looks like a female of the breed.
