Call Ducks Finally Hatched

[casportpony]

Perhaps I should get a pic of his daughter because she said "if he was Mauve, every hen would hatch out a chocolate base'.  And his daughter HAS NONE.  

The proof is in the progeny, lol. Just went thru this with peafowl.

are you saying, i wouldn't see it in would be a gene that she throws off when she has babies??? because if that's the case why aren't I seeing it now since this is his baby?

I consider myself a fairly intelligent person, but I swear these bird genetics thoroughly confuse me sometimes!!

he's my stud muffin... LOL Rear End View I thought the sun was to bright in the first pic making him look really dark...

that's lavender, not mauve.

Lavender is a recessive which mean you'd have to have 2 birds that are carrying lavender (whether it be pure lavender or lavender splits) in order to produce more lavenders. If you have produced another lavender, then one of your hens is carrying lavender.

So like his Daughter, Looks exactly like him, She would have the lavender gene now right so what if I breed her with Dad? Is that to close to inbreeding? because the only other Color I could hook her up with is a black silkie..

So when you said, use the correct wording about mauve for chickens, that doesn't really apply right because your saying he is a lavender so Lavender would be the correct wording. right or am I totally confused again..

lol. Don't ream! You got lavender which is what you were told. I've only seen 2 or 3 people with silkies that carry chocolate and they are still in the rough project stages!

I know in the chicken world you can breed father with daughter to help correct defaults..
