Mare's Illegal Cute-ness (Call Duck) Chat Thread!!

You can get blue fawn from:
-Of course, 2 blue fawns, this can also produce greys or pastels
-Grey x blue fawn — can produce blue fawn or grey
-blue fawn x pastel — can produce blue fawn or pastel
-grey x pastel — produces all blue fawns

Thank you! I appreciate your help.

Just as I had planned (with the exception of a couple stragglers and quackers) the calls found the food and water that they don't have to share with anyone but chickens

Our first hand built coop is in the works, and the base frame is almost complete.
We're attempting to make it mobile since I move their fence around, but still working out the logistics

I have some ducklings that look like blue fawn, though I have none of the above mentioned colors as adults
I'm pretty sure my four are butterscotch, not pastel. I for sure have no grey or blue fawn adults.
Can't you get blue fawn from a snowy x buff pairing?

Actually, according to the calculator, it looks like you can! I didn’t know it.

Beautiful Ducks and I love your setup!!! It's great that you can use straw for bedding. I use sand but it has to get replaced quite often which is a lot of hard work. My pen is rather large and I think if I used straw I would have to replace it all of the time and it would get stinkier than the sand.

Let's do a tally... how many call ducks does everyone currently have?? I'll start...28! 10 drakes and 15 hens, 3 too young to tell yet. Last year I had 6.... and the addiction began!
