Genetics: Penciled Runner Drake x Blue Runner Ducks

[jdywntr]

Here's a link to the genetics calculator http://kippenjungle.nl/Overzicht.htm#eendcalculator It has every species imaginable.

I found it best to play around with it first to make sure I was picking accurate colors. You can even see what would happen if you bred future generations.

Great blog (as usual). Very interesting and love all the pics!

ppimf -- I don't believe your case is sex-linked genetics which is the point of this thread. I'm guessing you would get black and white pied ducklings.

Thanks, Kim! I have some blue swedish ducks coming soon so I can try out my sex-linked tuxedo dux breeding again this year. I also need to keep a couple of those girls on hand to get a feel for their laying ability. I already know that the boys dress out at 3.5lbs and that's a good data point.

I also decided to divvy-up my blue runner girls between a chocolate drake and a penciled drake. I already know I'll get a sex linkage with the colors but I'm really interested in the runner pattern test. I think I'll get very pretty lilac duck girls with a runner pattern.
Ah well, all duck girls are pretty to me
