    Need help understanding color genetics

    Thanks for all the info Pyxis, it all helps a lot. I have one more question (for now at least, lol). In regards to the color phase alleles, I see you list Li+ (dominant wild-type), li (light phase) and li^h (harlequin). Which is more dominant between li and li^h?

    Need help understanding color genetics

    Awesome thanks a lot. That was a great help. Now a few more questions: - From reading Dave Holderread's stuff, I now assume that tricolor Anconas are basically Anconas without the extended black gene (homozygous for the recessive wild-type gene at that loci). Is this a assumption correct...

    Need help understanding color genetics

    So if I understand it correctly, then I can look at the potential offspring as so: - For the sex-linked genes (in this case Chocolate), the females can only inherit a gene from the Drake. - For a male offspring, you run the probability normally, except for the fact that he will always get the...

    Future Duck breeder

    Thanks for all of the welcomes everyone. I'm going to have hundreds of questions, I am sure; however I'll post them in their respective forums. I tried to keep this strictly to an introduction. Don't worry, I'm sure I'll have the Ducks forum flooded with my questions by the end of the year...

    Drakes within free-range mixed duck flock?

    I plan on having a mixed duck flock in the future. I am starting with a small flock (1 drake, and 5 ducks); eventually though, I plan on growing the flock to be of about 6 or 7 Drakes, with the appropriate number of females for a healthy ratio. The ducks/drakes will vary in size from my...

    Future Duck breeder

    Hello all. I've been obsessed with the thought of raising ducks for about a year now. I spend most of my free time researching and planning on starting to raise a flock. So I have spent a lot of lurking on this site during that time, but now it's time for me to start asking some specific...
