Thank you! I'm trying to get a hen with similar colors. So far, I've hatched pullets that are yellowish with black stripes. He's a blue wheaton. I figure this would be a great place to learn more about genetics and general chicken stuff.

Welcome to BYC, Christine! Please make yourself at home and we are here to help.

You sound like you have lots of animals keeping you busy!

Good luck with them all. It also sounds like you have a lovely flock. Those are great breeds.

If you are interested, we have a duck section here on BYC that is quite helpful. https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/42/ducks
