Blue Butterscotch Call Ducks

[Old McRonald]

I was able to come up with 2 butterscotch call duck hens but no drake. The only other colors I have are white and gray, so if I put them with my best gray drake I will get blue butterscotch offspring? I will be getting a young butterscotch drake in the fall for next year but I don't want to lose out on raising some babies from these this season. I want to get a worthwhile cross not just a hodgepodge mess. Would all the offspring be blues or would I also get grays and regular butterscotch?

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with these 2, as you can see I already have them in with the gray drake. I'm located in Manchester, what part of Iowa are you from?

Around the Lake MacBride Area, You get them from a breeder around here?

This calculator shows the resulting color as "blue mallard". Is that the same as "blue butterscotch"? Duck color names are confusing.

Yes I did. He had sold a trio to someone last year and they lost the drake so he bought the hens back and I bought them from him.

I think it must be because they look the same as the blue butterscotch pictures I've been seeing.

Did the breeder happen to be Matt Kuecker or Dennis Fuller?
