[Heavenly Love Hatchery]

Hi I am a New Member of Backyard Chickens and this is my 1st time owning Ducks and I got them as a Surprise and Love them already so I am wanting to know are they MagPies or Ancona Ducks and what colors??? I can't figure it out could someone please tell me what they are and there names are Ben and Rey from Star Wars Big Fan!

Love the names! I think the drake looks to be a tricolor ancona. The female is possibly from an ancona breeding but doesn't have the 'correct' magpie pattern. So you might call her a mismarked magpie.

Pretty much the only difference between ancona color and magpie color is that an ancona will be heterozygous for extended black, while a magpie will be homozygous.

Because of this, when breeding anconas, you end up with tricolors, like your drake, that aren't extended black at all, and also some that are magpies, like the female probably is.

Info on that here.

Oh, I was saying Rey might be from an ancona breeding but be classed as a magpie because of her pattern. As to the color, it may just be the picture, but I'm not seeing her as chocolate; she looks black to me. Is she brown in person?

Paxis yes Rey is Brown in person but Oh My is she the Sweetest ever comes up to you and wants to be petted and Loved on Ben and Rey are both 6 months old
