- Morphology are keys to differentiate breed, other than genetics. The unique nature of Indonesian ducks hasn’t been properly documented. Hence, this study was proposed to compare color variation as one of various morphology aspects of Indonesian native ducks. A number of 191 ducks from six varieties namely Alabio, Magelang, Rambon, Pegagan, Pitalah, and Bayang were recorded for 19 traits: bill color, bill pattern, nostrils color, bean color, eyes (bright part & dark part), crown color, cheek color, neck color, breast color, abdomen color, back color, wings secondary, wings primary, tail color, thigh color, webbed color, shank color. As results, Hundreds percent of bill color in Alabio duck is yellow while other ducks were dominated with black color. For nostrils color three ducks having 100% black color, only Magelang and Bayang have yellow (3.3%) and black color (3%), respectively. All the ducks have black color for bill nail except Magelang duck. The bright part of eye were vary from blue, grey, brown, and yellow. The bright eye in Rambon and Bayang duck were dominated with yellow color (100%). The dark part of eye indicated 100% having black color in all ducks. Crown, cheek and neck color were covered with 100% white brown in Alabio ducks. The others ducks were vary from brown, light brown, dark brown and black color. Alabio duck seems more uniform among population based on their morphological appearances. In conclusion, the morphological among Indonesian native ducks have various color and pattern.
