Just curious if anyone knows - if I were to hatch eggs from my blue magpie call hen and snowy call drake, which colours would I get?

Thank you!Blue bibbed pied and black bibbed pied. So, blue and black Magpie, but since they're only going to get one copy of the Runner (pied) gene, the Magpie pattern isn't going to be complete.
They will all be carrying one copy of mallard base, and also carrying one copy of harlequin.
I could be wrong, but I thought vent sexing birds older than one day was dangerous?This is super interesting! I just hatched out and am figuring out which of them I'm keeping for breeding. I have two very typey ducklings, very small, round heads with small short bills, one silver (we think) and a blue fawn. There is also one that isn't as typey but I love it's color, it's a very diluted blue bib. I'm waiting to vent sex, as I've had success vent sexing 2 week olds, but I'm just not comfortable doing it on a 3 day old. Watch them all turn out to be hens or drake...
