Hello!

So I am getting this black and white drake. The seller is unsure on breed but it looks like a possible Ancona?

I have 3 khaki ladies currently. Wondering how the babies and future adults might look with the color combo. I’ve tried the color genetics calculator but I’m not sure what to put for the initial drake color!

Thanks for any input!

Assuming he is an Ancona and homozygous, you should expect all of the ducklings to look like him. If not and he is heterozygous (mixed) for black with brown you would get 3/4 black and white and 1/4 brown all female. If not and he is heterozygous for black with just nonblack you could get black and white or something else like mallard pattern and white. If you get ducklings that do not have the runner (splotchy) pattern then he is heterozygous for that.
