Cayuga/Appleyard Cross

[Letticethemagpieduck]

just hatched some ducklings, some are pure Cayuga some are cross Appleyard. Does anyone have any Cayuga/Appleyard cross adult ducks? Would love to know what they shall look like!
Thanks

Looks like black Swedish. They look a lil like my Swedish.

Oh oh you bred them?

They do don't they

They will look like black swedish. Because Cayugas have the extended black gene they will either come out entirely black or they will have a bib. Is your drake the cayuga?

I got the eggs from someone locally, there was a male cayuga in with the female cayugas but a male Appleyard got in with the girls.

Yep I got the eggs off of someone I know.

That makes sense. You get a better chance of getting bibbed if the drake isn't a cayuga.

I just got cayugas 2 weeks ago can you show me what yours looked like when they were a baby?

Ah ok, so that means that all my bibbed ones are mixed?? I have some which are a light brown colour rather than black
