How do you tell what color ducks will be?
Observe the color of the ducklings. Mallards are the most common type of domestic duck and the ducklings will have brown coloring near their eyes, on their heads, backs, wings and tails while the rest of their bodies are yellow. Wood ducks are common, and the ducklings are nearly identical to mallard ducklings.
