    Can you breed a buff toulouse to a gray toulouse?

    Hi Cottage Rose, I've been breeding for about 20yrs now and have developed many new colour varieties in fowls and waterfowl and re-created a lot of breeds not found here in Australia. The biggest problem with genetics is it all depends on how pure the line is that you are using. We assume...

    Call Ducks..APA recognized Colors?

    I think I need to get my hands on some butterscotch but we don't have them here in Australia. Actually we don't have any true calls only the Australian Call which is slowly getting there but still needing a lot of work. I may have to shift to the US or UK where I can get hold of all the birds...

    Welsh Harlequin

    Yes we are using the same genotypes. md/md lih/lih D+/(D+) This is the silver version. md/md lih/lih d+/(d+) This is the gold version. Using the silver female. What you need to do is use a Campbell drake over the Harlequin duck. This will result in dark dusky drakes and khaki ducks (brown...

    Can you breed a buff toulouse to a gray toulouse?

    It doesn't matter what breed the genes still work in the same way. So will definately work with the sebs.

    Welsh Harlequin

    I'm from Australia but the Welsh Harlequin is an English breed so their colour standard is the one to follow. The silver birds would be culled for incorrect colour of their speculum. If you want to get the brown silver harlequin just add some khaki campbell blood. It doesn't really matter...

    Can you breed a buff toulouse to a gray toulouse?

    If the you cross a buff male to a grey female you will get grey males and buff females. Grey male to a buff female produces all grey offspring but they will be split to buff. Buff is a sex linked gene in waterfowl.

    Breeding Pen and Genetics Question?

    The exhibition dark cuckoo male is lighter than the female as they are homozygous barred so all the progeny should be barred. But it all depends on if the male you use is heterozygous or homozygous for barring. But yes you will get silver cuckoo as well depending again on the male used. If he...

    Who can tell me about Magpie ducks?

    They can be very loud but it's the females that quack not the drakes so if you just want some to look at get a few boys. They can fly but most will only fly a few feet. Most ducks are strong enough to go off heat after 2 to 3 weeks (and it does get cold and windy here ). Most of my ducks...

    Old English Pheasant Fowl- Are they in the US ?

    Yep had my vegemite on toast for brekky. They are quite rare even in the uk. The problem with some of the rarer breeds is some breeders see dollar signs and don't let many out so they can charge more for them whilst keeping the interest level up. 50 eggs for $150, let me at them. Here you...

    Call Ducks..APA recognized Colors?

    Hi Jerry, You say you get apricot silvers from your butterscotch. I was led to believe the butterscotch genotype was that of the appleyard but homozygous for blue. Appleyard are light phase restricted which is based on wild type hence the eyes striping. Silver is based harlequin phase (no...

    Self blue Gene

    Not 3 true breeding blues as the non laced blue of the leghorn does not breed true. I breed both black and non laced (self blue) from the one pen. I have heard that there are some lavender leghorns in the UK but don't know their history. David would need to answer the question on the I^s...

    Self blue Gene

    I can't comment on the true breeding self blue is obtained by using the Sooty I^s allele of Dominant White as I've never had anything to with these birds. All I'm saying is that we need to be able distinguish the genetics of the birds. Andalusian Blue (laced Blue), Self Blue (Non Laced Blue)...

    Breeding Pen and Genetics Question?

    If it's a dark cuckoo male over the black copper female you will produce cuckoo and golden cuckoo. Golden cuckoo is a black copper with the barring gene. Essentially a barred brown red.

    My buff duck is not buff!?!?

    She's a nice duck but definately not buff or fawn and white as those colours are based on the dusky gene. Your duck is based on light phase wild type which is why she has the eye striping. She looks to be a saxony cross but also shows some restricted genes as in the appleyard. In any case...

    What colors will i get when .......

    Obviously the genetics of your chocolates are different to ours in Australia. Here blue to choc results in blacks and blues if the blue used is heterozygous. If homozygous blue then all blue would be the result. Chocolate in muscovies is both sex linked and recessive. So it should be...

    Welsh Harlequin

    The Welsh Harelquin came about as a sport from a flock of Khaki Campbells. There is no gold and silver version of the Welsh Harlequin. The so called gold version is the Welsh Harlequin, the Silver version is the Abacot Ranger colour pattern. Abacot Ranger is harlequin phase dusky. (This it the...

    Old English Pheasant Fowl- Are they in the US ?

    I would be surprised if they are in the US. They seem to be incredibly rare outside of the UK. Here in Australia I know of only one breeder with them.

    Self blue Gene

    Actually Lavender is not the same as self blue. It's just a common misconception. Lavender was also known as reynold's blue. Blue comes in 2 varieties, laced as in the Andalusian breed and self blue which is non laced blue as in the Blue Leghorn.
