All four Ancona duckies were out, had to throw into brooder early this morning before leaving for husbands surgery but they all look good tonight!! No clue what the two other light colors are? silver is there a silver ancona?

Awwwwww

Yes, I believe there is Silver Ancona Duck

ETA: "(Holderread, 2001) Varieties include Black and White, Blue and White, Chocolate and White, Silver and White, Lavender and White, and Tricolored. Chocolate is a sex-linked recessive trait. If a chocolate drake mates with a black duck, all female offspring will be chocolate, while all male offspring will be black. A black drake mated to a chocolate duck produces all black offspring. Only male offspring will carry the sex-linked recessive chocolate gene. (Holderread, 1985)"

Wow that is super cool calculator. Would a chioclate orp be dun based or sexlinked?

I don't know much about chocolate genetics other than what is on a page/chart I bookmarked for lavenders (it has other colors on it too) so I'm not sure what would be the right choice on the calculator. I would probably lean toward the sex-linked selection if you have 2 chocolate colored birds. If one is a black split choc you need the advanced calculator to make sure you get the chocolate to factor in.

That is crazy!!  After having received eggs from you, I can say that the way you pack the eggs has EVERYTHING to do with why none of these eggs were broken!!  Good job!!

I can't believe the buyers aren't filing a claim!!  That is disgraceful!  Just for the fact that it took 10 days, isn't priority mail supposed to take 2 to 3 days?

I had a similar delay in January and my eggs sat in a distribution center 45 minutes from me over a weekend. I tried to get a phone # to that location (wanted to see if I could go there and pick them up). But there is only a 1-800 number listed for all locations and it took over 2 hours to talk to a person. The postal rep informed me that Priority isn't guaranteed in 2-3 days. Basically if they get it to you in 5,8,10 days that's their right and they aren't liable for delays. The woman said if I wanted it in 2 days I should have paid for Express.

Since you're already soldering, I guess you've magnified the circuits looking for disconnects.

Not yet. Thanks for the reminder. No progress today.
