Thanks for all the help.
So ripple ducklings look like normal wild type until they get their first feathers. Except they are lighter shade than the non rippled color. Are looneys born yellow with just color on the tail like barred? If a silver and a lavender are crossed which would be dominate, would they be streaky with darker lace and fading like silver, or would the even lavender tone mask it. Wondering since they are both recessive.

Silver and lavender in the first generation will give you all blue ducks that are split to lavender. Now if you have a bird that is silver and complete lavender I don't know as I haven't seen one. Lavender dilutes all colors, but since silver is a dilution as well I would assume the color would be even toned across the body.

The babies for this year, after these I don't thibk I'm allowed to have any more but in this clutch I have two new colors, I think the greyish yellow is lavender, I don't say blue because it looks like it's an actual mix of grey and yellow, and then a white baby with the grey yellow color on its head, and a full chocolate! I love them all very much

The black one is Tulip, the I think lavender one is Orchid,The lavender pied is Gold, and the chocolate one is Pine
