Are their colors sex-linked?

Do they really? I had no idea. Pretty cool :)

Well pekin are all white all the time all year round. They're like fat marshmallows :) I thought runners stayed the same color all year too. My Welsh harlequin male never changes color or loses his green head like my mallard does. I always just assumed it was a mallard thing.

Yea I believe so. My mutts are young too, only about 4-5 months old. But maybe next fall they will eclipse :) maybe though, I don't know if being half pekin or runner will affect their ability to molt into eclipse plumage.

I thought they were pretty too. Maybe he will have eclipse plumage that looks like that :)

Haha I meant third one. I just edited my post lol. I should start using their names to help with confusion. The third one, Dickie, is the one I'm positive is mallard/runner, and he is the lightest. The pekin/mallard male Frankenduck is by far the heaviest. He is huuuuge. The pekin/mallard female...

The father of all of them is my one male mallard, Potato. I'm not sure who is the last one's mother. My best guess is the fawn/white runner because his colors are similar to the third one, who I'm positive is fawn & white runner/mallard. I just can't see where else he would get the gray head...

It has. We have hatched four mutts so far, and based on their features and who was laying at the time, I can make a pretty good guess as to who their parents are. Pekin/mallard (pretty certain) Pekin/mallard (I think, but I I could use outside opinions) Fawn & white runner/mallard (100%...

Just see if I get some. I don't breed for certain types. Just throw eggs from my mixed flock in the incubator and see what hatches :)

No idea about this cross, but I am very interested to see if anyone else has any info. I have a buff girl and mallard boy, so this outcome is very possible if I plan on hatching any this year.
