Two young drakes (hatched Apr 2) that we are keeping for breeding. Self-chocolate and self(well...almost!)-black. Most of our female ducks are white-chocolate, or white/blue fawn

I am trying to figure out what colour my older male Garfunkel is - I thought he was a regular black pied, but one baby is brown and another is almost a burgundy browny black. Can a black have brown babies ? His current colour is the pied, with bronzy brown, pale brown, black with the green and purple sheen. He is a year old. Thought he was just sun bleached. Cant wait to see what the burgundy baby will grow up to be.

Your drake is a black pied. He is just sun bleached. True chocolates won't have the green sheen. It is possible for a chocolate baby. He must carry the chocolate gene. If the mom isn't chocolate then the baby is a female since chocolate is sex linked.

is the barred one, she has a green sheen on the longer flight feathers, none on the tail. All three of us have noticed it. No purple sheen.

Yay!

It's hatching in the middle instead of top, so I'm hoping and praying there won't be any problems, but I'm going to keep an eye on it. So excited!!
