Chocolate pied, blue pied black pied
The drake is the blue.
He will produce black and blue, white and some pied when bred with those hens.
If he's split to chocolate, he will produce the above colors plus chocolate and lilac (all females!) when bred to the black hens. And those same colors in both genders when bred to the chocolate hen.
@learycow. Do you have a resource you use to see these color combos? Reporting based on lots of experience?
I'm asking because we are 1st time duck owners and trying to decide which drakes and hens to keep. We have drakes and hens of each of the colors: silver, chocolate and silver/chocolate mix. The only way I could assuredly avoid inbreeding would be to keep silver and chocolate with drakes and hens of different colors.
I'm not asking you list all the possible combinations of the drakes & hen. If you have a website, extension office or breeders guide that I could pick up, a point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. The only way I could assuredly avoid inbreeding would be to keep silver and chocolate with drakes and hens of different colors. The breeder had multiple drakes & hens in silver and chocolate but no way of tracking the moms and dads.
