Hi everyone!  I'm new here, and just had my first bunch of ducklings hatch!  The hen laid shortly after I got her so I'm not 100% sure what the dad looks like, my own drake is all white.  The hen is all brown.  Any guesses on what colours these guys will be?  I know from reading another similar post the flash probably didn't help.  I assume the dark ones will be black, some of them seem to have a reddish tinge though.  I'm curious about the three up front to the right, will they be brown and white?  There were two pastel drakes where I got the hen from, attached a pic of one drake I got from the same place, cannot remember what the other drakes were!  Lots of beautiful happy birds there!

I would say you're going to have whites (with or without a small amount of color) and a few chocolates and blacks, probably will be pied.  I don't see what I'd think would be blue but the flash might affect that, just can't say for sure.
