The job never ends, but it is very much worth it.

That it is!

Hey Lori!

I have snowy and white calls. I know their colors now! If you mix white with snowy, the next generations will be blues and apricots. Ha!

Unless I'm calculating wrong the calculator shows 100% mallard gray coloring with that cross.

I kept trying to repeat it. The trick is in getting a dusky gray. I got that again, Actually I may have a dusky gray, looks like gray but no white ring on neck but I couldn't get blue without adding an apricot. You have butterscotch, hum I will try that.

Gives you blue mallard

And if you take the blue, and breed back to butterscotch, you get apricot!

It's pretty neat figuring it all out. Currently I have a buff and an apricot hen and then 3 drakes- penciled, butterscotch and buff. Not sure what all the new babies are yet
