Oh okay. Any idea on how many are ducks and how many drakes?Thank you! I think that one is a duck - she's pretty loud, but none have shown drake feathers yet.

I'm pretty sure there are at least 2 ducks and 3 drakes based on voices (but that leaves 4 unknown). The boys sound just like their Pekin dad...and the girls are super loud, like Runner mom. lolOh okay. Any idea on how many are ducks and how many drakes?
Thank you!Aww lovely colours
Interesting - that definitely makes sense. Only the drakes show the brown coloration; all ducks are just white/blue. Thanks for the info!In the US, fawn and white runners have blue genes. Specifically, they are dark phase dusky with sex link brown and homozygous blue. So that's likely where the blue came from. If you bred one of these boys back to his mum or other fawn and white runners, you could get all sorts of very interesting colors.
That's kind of cool, it's almost like you made sex link ducks

LOL - it would sure be a lot more useful if the color difference manifested earlier! I've been hoping to get some eggs from this group so I can hatch them...will post an update if/when I do.
