Duck Genetic questions

[marvun22]

I know how blue works. If you cross blue with blue you get 50% blue, 25% black, and 25% splash. My question is a bit more complicated.

I wanted to bring some Blue looking ducks into my flock. My friend has some Blue Swedish that his kids are bringing to the fair. I was going to mate his Blue Swedish with my Black Swedish/Rouen cross. My Black Swedish/Rouen are black with a spotted bib. The crosses crossed with each other made an all black duckling. How many eggs would I need to get to make sure the combo gets a blue. My Swedish/Rouen is the female and my friend's Blue Swedish would be the male.

Old thread that covered duck color genetics. Think in your case the question is what are your black swedish / rouen crosses genetically. If you were just dealing with a black x blue swedish cross you should get 50/50 average of black and blue with a large enough number of ducklings, remembering that each ducking is an individual event... like flipping a coin.
