Wow got an email alert. Blast from the past. Whites, blues, and bronze? Boy I dunno. It looks closest to a silver chocolate (lilac) in birds I've seen but the pigment (what little phaeomelanin there is) isn't as smooth a gradient as I would expect. Plus no chocolate in the flock? Plus if...

Your genotypes above I would call: Silver, Lilac, Blue, Blue Fawn...well...actually Blue male carrying chocolate! the way its written, Wildtype (surely the "-" is a typo), Chocolate. Blue N+N Silver NN Choc Z(ch)Z(ch) or Z(ch)W Blue Fawn N+N,Z(ch)Z(ch) or...

Off the top of my head... Black is accepted as wildtype so all genes assumed in a black muscovy have a superscript plus by them unless proven otherwise. Single gene mutants: Blue is one blue gene N (Nero is Italian for blue, author was Italian). Thus genotype is NN+ or N+N (don't know how...

As far as I can tell his plan is to wait while the youngster grows up. Don't know if he meant the dog was too young or not trained yet or what. I didn't take a good look at the fencing but it was obviously a bunch of add-ons of different type. He has a nesting structure they could roost in but I...

I know someone with a setup similar to yours. His old dog died and the the young one isn't old enough to take up the job, meanwhile he loses ducks/chickens just about every night because the old dog isn't there anymore to run things off.

I don't understand the pen. What height are the walls? Why did you think nothing would scale them? Won't hawks be able to attack?

Ian, I was in Australia last year. Went from Taz>Melbourne>Adelaide(Kangaroo Island)>Sydney>Brisbane>Cairns>Darwin. HIghlight was perhaps the most southern trail in the Daintree. A bird guide had recommended it to me as one that had been planted with Cassowary-attracting plants. Got there...

WHOA! BACK UP EdenCamp! First get Holderread's book (http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=storey%27s+guide+ducks&tag=googhydr-20&index=stripbooks&hvadid=1152576461&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=19862412151064468675&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_21zdkpya8k_b), its head and...

Mom is not a lavender, blue or silver. She is probably either blue fawn or lilac and given the great degree of pigment dilution I'll go with lilac (or maybe blue fawn with one white gene?). If you stuff enough color mutations in you aren't going to get much pigment and she doesn't have much...
