You would call this color Tri-color. It's not the most desired Tri-coloring because it's really more of a penciling. Seems that the penciled ones always come out hooded like that with the collar. Personally I think it has to do with the runner duck ancestry in them. It would be a cull if your breeding Anconas but they are fine to keep for eggs or backyard bug control.

Funny stuff Sue! I think this one may be my fault. Oops, my bad. wink.png

Jaz, glad to see you around again. I can't keep track of the comings and goings of birds at you place.
My menagerie includes 5 horses, 3 dogs, 4 cats, 33 geese (dewlap toulouse & african) and 11 ducks (muscovy, ancona, cayuga & silver appleyard).

Oh I don't hatch nearly as many.... Or sell as many either. I am just watching my numbers of birds climb. Glad I am done with duck eggs as soon as my cayugas hatch in a few days (except one lonely silver apple on day 8).
