I have a trio of ducks that are half silkie duck. The father was a black east Indie type silkie duck and the mother was a white mallard with now silkie genes.
Genetically, these 3 ducks are all carriers of the silkie gene. Bred together, they would produce 50% silkie ducks. The trio consists of: a gray/mallard color drake, a blue fawn hen and a blue hen with a splash of white for a bib.
If someone would use them and raise more silkie ducks, I would sell them. I am focusing more on my call ducks, silkie chickens and cochins.
