We just hatched some snowy call eggs...But 2 ducklings are black! Could it be a runner sperm? We have a bunch of runner drakes. Our could a snowy pair produce a non snowy?

Snowy x Snowy = 100% Snowy... if you have runners mixed with your Calls, there's no way to guarantee pure Calls...

Thanks! One is pure I think... 4 out of 5 are hatching...3 out, one to go!

Is this malpositioned to get itself out? My husband is trying to help. It's the last viable call duck to yet hatch

 

[MichalK]

Nevermind, it's out

Lol, I was going to say that looked fine... I would remove the wet paper towel asap though... that will chill it...

it's all good ! One mamma, 4 daddies?

I hope they turn out to be pure calls! Have 3 males. If mixed with runner will the look ugly?

If you only have Snowy Calls, you have 1 Call and 3 mixed... could be just 2 daddys though... blue runner over Snowy could throw black, blue and wildtype pattern just like those...

No, mixes aren't ugly... they're still cute...
