Larkwell Valley (2023)

Did it hatch out yellow? If so, it's barred. If not, maybe a Rippled? Really looks Rippled to me...

So if it's a Ripple, is that dominant or recessive?

Definitely not Barred if they weren't yellow with a darker tail.

Ripple is indeed recessive.

"Ripple is a pattern of darker and lighter stripes on individual feathers. If you suspect your bird is ripple, you will see these stripes covering feathers mainly on the wings and tail. You may even see a few random rippled feathers on the wings or tail of solid colored birds, which could mean your bird is carrying the ripple gene."

Dang. So I'll have ducklings that show nothing, but caryylike 3 recessive

They were actually somewhere I had looked into getting ducks from last fall, coincidentally
