LOL.Yea i think your mom did the right thing though :P

Cute ducklings!

Female mallards do have blue on their wings just like the males. They don't have the other bright colors though. I don't know enough to say is this duck is a mallard or not, but even if she isn't, it wouldn't surprise me if other species of duck have similar bits of color on the females.

Well she was with other mallards but she was the only one with 1 blue wing.The other pics i have to post show a white mallard and one with a white chest :O.I think someones ducks got loose and hooked up with some mallards :P

From the pic it looks like a female mallard. Ducks will interbreed when given the chance though. I used to live at an apartment complex that had white ducks that swam in their lake and they bred with the mallards. The mixed ducks where like a calico mallard. :)

From what I can see of the ducklings, they look like mallards.
