Mandarin cross wooduck pic ?

[adriano]

A guy posted this on another forum stating its a cross of a mandarin / wooduck.

I know its not possible as its down to the chromosome set up of the mandarin that prevents a cross.

Anyone got ideas on what this pic shows.

Well, without doing a Gendetic test, I can only go by visual cues... Id say it is a Manderin / Wood Duck cross. You never know, when theres a will.. theres a way.

P.S.

Let me know what you find out. I'd like to know. I still think it looks cool.

look at posts #735 and on https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=345303&p=74

Looks EXACTLY like mine in eclipse plumage, That's all it is. No doubt about it at all. And for the record its when the new feathers are coming in. Yall watch your mandies when the new feathers come in

Thats what my first thought was, but then i second guessed myself when i saw the white sails looked orangish.

I may be wrong, but aren't the sail feathers suppose to be orange.

I was referring to the usually thin white "sails" in front of the orange ones

This is what I think too. There are color mutations including one called a Black Mandarin.
