Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[Lacrystol]

If you add blue to the mix then here are your color possibilities. Exchange the word mauve (used in chickens) for the word lavender in ducks. A mauve splash in chickens would be a lilac in ducks.

Chocolate male x blue female = 25% mauve female, 25% chocolate female, 25% blue males carrying chocolate, 25% black males carrying chocolate

Chocolate male x mauve female = 25%mauve female, 25%chocolate female, 25% mauve male, 25% chocolate male.

Mauve male x chocolate female = (same as previous cross)

Mauve male x mauve female = 12.5% chocolate male, 12.5% chocolate female, 25% mauve males, 25% mauve females, 12.5 mauve splash males, 12.5 % mauve splash females.

Mauve splash male x mauve splash female = 50% mauve splash males, 50% mauve splash females

Mauve splash male x chocolate female = 50% mauve males, 50% mauve females

chocolate male x mauve splash female = (same as previous cross)

mauve male x black female = 25% black males,25% blue males(all males carry chocolate in this cross), 25% chocolate female, 25% mauve female

I say lavendar rooster because as a seller not a whole lot of people are familiar with the word "mauve". they understand a more common words...like Lavender, some of them don't know how to hatch but want eggs. LOL Thats a another WHOLE story...But


Here's why I'm asking, I have a coop with a "mauve" Splash Silkie, he's got TW0 splash hens, black hens and one blue hen. Some one hatched out a baby and asked me if I had a Brown chicken in that coop. Well I have never hatched out a Brown chicken in that coop, LOL.... so I was like NO???? But if your saying My Mauve Splash is going to throw off Chocolates THEN that would make a WHOLE LOT of Since where the Brown came From...

Another example of common word, "chocolate being called Brown? just saying.

No, lavender is the term used in ducks for chocolate and blue together. Lavender is chickens is a completely different gene and is a recessive that requires 2 copies of it no matter what in order to make a bird lavender.

You have me Lost

Every silver duck I have ever seen has been almost completely yellow or white at hatch. They may have faint markings on silver but I have never seen one that dark. I see a lot of silver in ancona flocks.

Got cha

Now would you like me to really confuse the heck out of you and throw in the genetics for black and blue males carrying chocolate over various colors of females? These get interesting.

YOU'VE already LOST ME, LOL STOP my brain is hurting hahahahahah

I have seen chocolate called brown. If you have a mauve splash silkie (which I would love to see pics of, only ever seen chocolate project silkies) over splash, black, and blue hens, you would only get splash males, blue males, mauve females, and mauve splash females. Lavender is a different color completely in chickens and by calling a mauve a lavender someone might get something they were not wanting. A lavender is a silver, purplish, grey color while the mauve is a washed out chocolate color.

lavender silkie

mauve orpingtons. mauve varies in color a lot due to the blue genes

OK so your stating my Splash Rooster who is a Lavender, technical name is Mauve Splash correct? and he is carrying a gene that will throw off Chocolates??? LOL

But then you lost me when you said Lavender needs TWO copies, so back to the beginning, can he throw off brown chickens even though he is in a coop WITHOUT chocolates. there's not ONE single Brown chicken in his coop... IN FACT, I do have his daughter and she looks EXACTLY like him... LOL

But that' is VERY VERY RARE for me to hatch out his coloring...

can you post a picture of him? I think something's getting cross here. if he was a mauve splash then every hen he throws should turn out to be a chocolate based color

I got him because he was a Lavender at least that's what the person told me. I'll go right now and get a pic..
