Barred Muscovy babies

Chocolate is fun in muscovies because it's sex linked.

Only sex-linked in Muscovies?

Yes, in mallard derived ducks, it's not, it's just a regular recessive Females can carry it, from what I understand.

Edit: Nope, I take it back. I had read once that females can carry it, but that appears to have been wrong. Upon further research it is indeed sex linked in mallard derived ducks too.

A lot of great interesting information! Thank you all so much! I think I will start selling my barred and chocolates for a couple of dollars more than the otherts.

The crazy thing is, all 4 of my females and my one male are all black and white pied.

It is crazy, right? That's how I started, nothing but black and whites, but one day I got chocolates and barreds.

I got 2 barred from black an white so some where along the line. Maybe great grandma?

I guess my first black/white drake must have carried chocolate, and either he or his mate carried barred.

The drake is carrying chocolate, and the drake and at least one hen are carrying barred It's lots of fun to see what can pop out with recessive genes.

More interesting info - since you don't have any female chocolates, all your chocolate babies are female.

, that also explains why all my first gen were females!

It’s interesting and exciting what comes out of hatching I had 3 solid white Muscovy females and never got a white duckling now I know why is it only white to white produce them?
