What you'll get from a blue/chocolate cross depends on what the drake carries. If he carries chocolate, you can get lilacs/blue fawns, and chocolates. Otherwise, expect blues and blacks.

I'd have said hands down that drake IS a blue barred, and at least with my barred birds I found they grew out of the color. The fact that he had NO blue barring at ALL at any age, though, throws me.

I think the mutt is purdy. Conan just looks scary...

I think his name fits him perfectly.... people come over and think he is some kind of crazy goose.

Do you think he is going to get much bigger? When Conan first feathered out he had grey bars for a while and tthe rest of him was pure white. Then all of a sudden all of those feathers fell out and he turned blue/black/grey laced almost.

Yup -- the mutt's my fav.

The rest are pretty, too, of course.)

^ ditto that!

. *hugs* for the "mutt" what a beautiful girl, I think she deserves a beautiful name. "mutt" is not flattering for such a lovely, special girl. IMHO

Sounds like your Conan IS blue barred. Here's my blue barred pied drake as a wee little guy:

Here he is more recently:

And I know what you mean about some sort of weird goose! I've had SO many 'city' people ask if I sucessfully bred a goose with a turkey.... haha!

My Conan looked almost the same as yours when he was first feathering out. I have the pics on my computer but can't find which file they are in.

I have people swear and argue with me and tell me that he is goose hands down. Then he normaly comes waddling up huffing a puffing and that just freaks out some people. LOL It gives me a giggle.
