Ancona genetics question

This is what you can get from all colors with either a blue drake or a blue drake split to chocolate.

With the chocolate gene in either a hen or the drake or both, you have lot of possible duckling colors!

This is one of my lavender hens vs my lilac. Lilac almost looks buff, with a caramel tone.

Would you possibly know what a Cayuga + deer runner fawn/white would be? I have 3 Cayuga hens and 6 deer runner fawn/ white, thank you

I'm not entirely sure what the genotype of fawn and white runners is, but I think it has at least 1 blue gene and chocolate. If so, you'd probably end up with blue pied and lavender pied ducklings. If fawn/whites have only 1 blue gene instead of 2 (someone else might know), you could get black pied and chocolate pied too. And since the drake is the one with chocolate, they'd be sex-linked; females would be the lavenders and chocolates.

I'll upload my hen which I think is blue or lavender when it let's me, she is the one on my profile picture

It's a little hard to tell on the profile picture; she almost looks chocolate there. So maybe a blue with rust? She looks a little dark to be lavender to me.

These I know are half Indian Runners and I don't know what else, do you by chance?

I hope you can see her the other brown speckled is her sister, not thr fawn/ white runnet

They are very pretty! I don't know what they might be mixed with. Their size might give you a clue, but it could be so many things, including another mix.

Oh thank you! I appreciate your information! I'm very excited!

Both lovely, but the one on the right is stunning! Would be hard to plug that into the color calculator, but you could try the base color (buff, chocolate? for the one on the right or maybe dusky mallard) and account for the Splash with white. Beautiful!
