View attachment 1329436 Got a pretty hen this year. I think she’s a laced blue bibbed. I’d love confirmation though as I’ve never actually seen a laced blue bibbed call. She is an Australian call so judge type based on that

She is a gorgeous blue bibbed!!
I don't think laced is ever used in duck color description as far as I know... but good blue *should be* laced, I think it's just assumed in the name...

Thank you. The UK has laced blue bibbed as a standard colour so I was wondering if that's what she was but I'm just happy to know what colour she is. I have a nice looking matching drake too so I guess next year I'll end up with some second-generation blue bibbed.

Ah! First I had heard of that.... if that is in your standard, then yes, I do believe she is... laced in blues is where the body of the feather color is lighter than the edges... each feather should be rimmed with a dark blue edge... the darker, sharper and clearer the better...

ETA: blue to blue breeding will give you 50% blues, 25% blacks and 25% silvers (UK name is different, your silver is our Snowy and I dunno what name is used instead)...

I'm Australian so we're a little different than both of you. Although we're working towards you we aren't there yet. We don't have a standard to cover her other than general bibbed. Our silver has the same colouring as a Welsh Harlequin if that's helpful

Our Silvers are ones with 2 blue genes, like these...

ah your silvers are our lilac I think. If I put a chocolate bibbed female in with the blue bibbed pair I should get some lilac bibbed babies.

As if it weren't all confusing enough, let's all the countries use something different! Yea, that's fun!!

Mostly, it's just our country... and our fault...
