She did make this article. but it is so hard for me to wrap my mind around the genetic stuff and understand what it all means.

A lady that bought some call ducklings from me this summer had her kids show them at the fair.
They won 3 ribbons! It's so exciting for me and them.
They won best in show drake, best in show hen and grand champion all over poultry for the hen!

Wow! Thanks for posting the link! What an interesting read. It makes sense to me until there’s sequences... that, to me is just random letters and signs！

Wow! Congrats, that’s really cool! Do you show your birds yourself?

No, I don't. I just like watching.

Watching is the best! I bet you might have a couple ribbons on your wall if you did! It’s nice that your customers update you as well.

I am pretty sure I remember @Pyxis saying black is dominant. She's the one I ask about genetics.
Then I forget what she tells me and have to ask again.

Black is dominant So the ducklings will be all black bibbed. Well, as long as the black bibbed has two copies of extended black. If it only has one, there could be surprises
