    Call duck incubation - help

    So I did do my research but now I’m second guessing myself as my eggs have arrived and are resting until tomorrow when they go in my incubator.

    Confused on Silver gene in RIR mix

    Confused on Silver gene in RIR mix

    I'm just starting into the world of chicken/poultry genetics and just having a hard time visualizing things and keeping things straight. Basically, I've been using the kippen chicken calculator and doing some research but a bit confused. Right now I'm trying to figure out what the offspring of...
