Well.. Color is kinda improtant... Which thread? You should correct them.
I think someone else already did. Yes, color is important. But more important is that an "ugly" duck won the show. We took a presold Chocolate Pied young duck for a 16 year old from Michigan. Brought home a pre-bought Chocolate young duck from Saladin. Waited since last fall for this one. She is very nice. The boys got into a fight over her. We have an old drake and his son from last summer. Pappa won AGAIN! Last night the old drake was resting under a tree and the young drake was "courting" her. We won Grand Champion Waterfowl with the old drake last fall. We had limited space at Crossroads so left the ducks home. One of Danny's Black drakes beat us at Pine Bluff, Arkansas this fall. Judge marked mine BB, then changed his mind and scratched it out. Got RB. Jacob bates was showing the Black. Hard to beat a good black.
Just started showing and breeding Exhibition Muscovy Ducks last spring. Have raised them since childhood. Still learning about colors and what colors come from what crosses. Would be nice if someone could draw up a chart for BYC. For instance: The Chocolate Pied hen I sold will be mated to a Silver drake he bought from Saladin. What colors will he expect? We have gotten a Silver from a Chocolate X Chocolate mating.
