Call Ducks Finally Hatched

I mean its not going to hurt them and if they are dead, it's definitely not going to kill them. LOL 

OH MAN sorry, that was really a sick sense of humor there.  OMG, 


Ha it's okay we gotta laugh sometimes.

I safe holed the two. Still don't think they are alive but I'll give it until tomorrow and open them up.

The third one externally pipped by itself overnight, so hopefully it'll be out by morning.

Well if he does get out and those two are still alive, perhaps they will be out too. Crossing fingers, if they are dead, then send me a picture of them, lets see if we can narrow down what went wrong.
 
OK so whos the Call Duck Color expert? Someone has asked if you breed two silver's will you end up with Silver's or different colors. I'm not a color coordinator expert, if I was I would have MY MAGPIE.. LOL

I diagrammed this so that the different genes stood
stood out better for me. I have bad vision. No offence is meant for anyone other than myself.


If you breed silvers with the correct genotype, you will get 100% silver.

If the original silvers were bread in a way that the genes only express the desired color, without being able to pass that trait on to the next generation, you will get a mix.

I have only done the math on magpie, but you can see how it works.

For example, if you breed pied and bibbed, you will get what "expresses" the magpie color, but the next generation would me mixed colors

Pied M*M* Li*Li* ee* bl*bl * cc *BB* RR* DD*Bu Bu
bib M*M* Li*LI* EE* bl*bl * cc * BB* rr * D* Bu
ofspring
male M*M Li Li Ee * bl bl *CC *BB *Rr *DD *bu bu hen M*M Li Li Ee *bl bl *CC *BB *Rr *D *bu
True magpie
male M*M Li Li EE bl bl CC *BB RR DD bu bu
hen M*M Li Li EE bl bl CC *BB RR D bu


1. The Pied Drake has two ressesave extended black genes (ee)
2.The bibbed hen has two Domanent
extended black genes (EE)


3. That combination creates one recesave and one dominant in all of their ofspring (Ee)
A dominant gene will always express
over a recessive, so you get the black for magpie


4. But since they each carry the resesave They can each throw a resesave gene (ee) and the chicks will not be magpie.
The true magpie has two Dominant (EE)

There are also differences in the Rr, D and bu genes those can be explained the same way, and how genes express themselves

Well the two were definitely dead.

But, the one did hatch annnd IT'S A MAGPIE, ITS A MAGPIE!! Lol. What are the odds? Not black either. Looks blue but I'm not going to get my hopes up too much, could be a light brown.

OMG, I have no clue what this means. LOL, ee M*M. LiLi?? NO clue what these symbols mean, SORRY. Told you I'm not a color coordinator.. LOL

NO WAY, NOOOOOOO WAYYYYYYY OMG, YOU BRAT. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THIS IS NOT HAPPENING TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Hey look at it as a success! I now have a magpie and two bibbed, so I can make magpies!! And therefore ship you eggs

OK THAT SOUNDS BETTER!!!! WOOO HOOOOOOO
