hello,
if you could please help me identify genes of our ducks we've collected this year, I'm mostly intersted in their genes and combinations but to work with them, mostly with the recessive genes I need to be sure I have the correct information.
with help of https://kippenjungle.nl/kruisingEend.html I've found gene information I need but I'm not sure if I was able to identify correctly my ducklings so far.
First pic is a separate from others, we bought these as young black ducklings, not all of 'em were pure black, some got black patch orange beeks and legs, this drake (left) has pure black wings. Other drakes and the duck on the pic (right) got the last feathers white. (the legs are black orange patched visible on this pic) Drake's legs are fully black. We've been told they are Pekin x Rouen. I've searched the web for the cross and it showed me the same black ducks. Drake has a bit dark green on his head that is visible already, will he change the color later? he is about 5 months old.
these two are now with our two pekin ducks from last year, what is the genetics of Pekins? as we got only pekin ducks and pekin drake we got all pekin white ducklings, with the gene calculator i've found that the "white" is a recessive gene, but if there is no non-white gene its sure that all babies are white. I have not found any information about genes of Pekin white colour just found one white in the options of the calculator.
my second pic has a bit more duckling they are about 2 months old now and i was lucky to buy some color full mix from a lady she was selling them under name "hungarian peasant ducks"
1. I've identified this duck as silver appleyard, comparing pics on the web of adult ducks, my ducklings etc. we have 3 of 'em.
2. two are whit with black patches and the third is pure white but it's from the same parents. are they Magpie?
3. should be Khaki Campbell, it was twice that big as the ducklings now its the smallest one, i know Khaki should be smaller and not that fast growin as others. And it seems her wings are standing away, could this be "angel wings" ? i've seen worse pics on the web but i know that in this age when the wings are growing they are more heavy and are falling from the body. and If this is really a angel wing, will he/she be able to have healthy duckling for next year? this Khaki per genetics is my most valuable now as it is alone of its breed here and quite rare to find.
4. should be Rouen blue, we got only one duckling we've seen the parents and it was called Rouen blue we should be sure with it, it was gray and now it's brownish with gray back and wings, i was able to make a good pic of it
here are our 7 ducklings we bought from the lady 3 were yellow with some darke spots that become brown like apple silveryard #1 on upper pic, 2 are yellow with black patches they are white with black patches #2 one was fully yellow and is pure white from the same parents. and third was brown. As you may see the brown (Khaki?) was bigger and older than the ducklings but it is now the smallest duck from all.
thank you!
