Are these Khaki Campbells/Apricot Campbells ?

Post Wed Feb 03, 2010 8:59 pm

I was wondering if anyone could tell me if these are campbells with non-standard colouring or could they have been crossed with another breed :?: .

I initially thought the lighter coloured ones were just a cross breed but could they be apricot campbells. The lighter coloured drake has a silver/grey hood and a light brown body.

I think they all look great and couldn't be without them. I'm just interested to find out what they could be and if they are non-standard campbells or a cross with another breed. The black and white one is Maddie my muscovy :shock: .

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all your lovely comments :D

I was going to try to hatch some campbell ducklings out under my muscovy this spring. Would you say that all of the Campbells look like Apricots (including the dark brown headed drake??) or is is just the silver/grey headed drake and the lighter coloured duck.

I've tried comparing the rest of them to photos on the internet but the khakis I've seen do look a bit darker. I want to try to hatch some Apricot Campbells if possible :dance:

Thanks again,

Jim
