color ?

[rarebreedeggs4u]

I'm picking this trio up in a week or so. Can anyone help with the colors on these kids? Thanks so much

The little guy's not coming, just the big kids.

I'm not sure - you're probably going to have to wait for CityChicker to show up and enlighten us all, but I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say Black, Splash, and Emery Penciled.

They're pretty, whatever color they are!

Beautiful.......... Maybe, Black, blue and Mallard pied.

I have a black one... so I know the first one is black... is the middle one lavender... it has some markings on the head so probably not... the last one looks penciled to me too. They are very nice looking.

In agreeance with the notions above...But why not the little one as well ???... What an adorable little call he is.

Black, silver, & pied (looks like a dark phase dusky + pied genes). Don't know what the last ones hobby name is?

Cheers

I think it's called Emery Penciled (that's what the "hobby name" is) - you can see an example here:

That one's my favorite! I want one now!

I want that third one!!! Yeah, the first is definitely black, the middle looks like a non-standard, but could be one of the dilute colors. But I adore the penciled one, or whatever it is, on the right. I've never seen one like that, and now that's what I want to raise! She's awesome!!

Genders, in case you're wondering, it looks like the penciled one is a girl. The dilute/pale/splash/lavender/whatever one looks like a boy--looks like tail feathers against the background of the little call (who is WAY too cute). And the black one could be a boy too--is that a slightly upturned feather on the tail?

Maybe you already knew that--

Anyway, they are gorgeous. Very nice runner stances. Any idea where the stock is from originally (i.e., whether they came from a large breeder, and which one)?
