Cayuga Ducklings with White?
Is it possible for Cayuga ducklings to have white on them? I know that as the adults get older they slowly turn white, but is it possible for ducklings to have some white fluff on them too?- proudduckowner22

Cayuga duck color genetics question.
Do any of you know of any resources on Cayuga genetics, specifically color genetics. I found a post a few weeks ago that talked about needing to select for more than just one gene in order to get really colorful birds but I can't find it now.- thoeffel1994

Hello! So I've been seeing stuff on sexing Cayugas by their quacks but I don't understand what I'm listening for. They're 8 weeks old so just a few more weeks until my drakes get their curly-Qs in their tail feathers, but I'd like to know what I'm listening for when they quack. Here's a...- Fallenone05

Cayuga x Khaki Cambell Crossbreed
