Muscovie color combinations

[Muscovies]

What color of ducklings would come from a Blue ripple drake, Lilac pied hen and a black pied hen?

Thanks

Calculating potential progeny colour/pattern of any cross can be difficult/inaccurate due to potential unknowns. For example, you may or may not get rippled progeny, depending on whether or not the ducks have the recessive autosomal brown-rippled gene. Having said this, you could possibly produce blues, blacks, silvers, pied in any colour form, white, & even rippled, barred, chocolate etc.

Like I said, difficult to calculate unless exact genetic make-up known. But the unknown adds to the fun of breeding them

Send me some eggs in the spring and I will let you know.

Sorry couldn't resist. Guess you won't find out unless you try.
