 your right what was i thinking, that means your gonna have all black drakelets that carry chocolate and chocolate ducklets ! i had to look at the chart for that one 

So black babies will be drakes that carry the chocolate gene and the girls will be chocolates?

Interesting. So why does one of the drakes have chocolate black and white on him? I've never seen it before, but I also just seen buff for the first time last month too

Baby. 6-8 weeks. It grows more chocolate as it ages. Yeah I'll get a new picture tomorrow. Here is one from 1-2 weeks ago

The beginning of my breeding pens. Will be buying 2-3 more kennels, roofs for all, dog houses for shade and laying, and pools. Going to be a slow process, but will get there

Well now I feel stooooooooopid! Haha that should have been easy for me.

Don't feel stupid.... We all have to start some where. I only have my genetics knowledge because of HOURS of research and reading! Lol also took a genetics course in college so I understand the basics pretty well. Muscovy genetics are pretty easy it's chicken genetics that I get lost in. Too many patterns and recessive genes.

@BunnyStyles , sorry to hear about your duck! From the photo it look like she is molting (I see a lot of new feather shafts coming in). Did your dog just tear out feathers, or does she actually have open wounds? How is she acting?

she was molting at the time but my dog cornered her into the cage and ripped out all the feathers, she was bitten, there was some blood but not much, i got 300 dollars from my dad to get charlie checked and cleaned, im taking her to the vet in 2 days as the vet isnt open tomorrow

I'm sorry Bunny I sure hope she makes a full recovery. keep us updated.

thank you and she is a strong unique duck and I will

Put her in a warm room in your house.
