Preparing to set call and pekin duck eggs! Hatch day should be March 4, 2021 if all goes well!

I have a drake and hen with those white wing feathers @WVduckchick . Mine have mostly white wings.

But none of my other ones have them.

Well I have some disappointing news. The new call duck house/run plans fell through. I went to go pick it up on Friday. When I got there I inspected it only to find out that the whole bottom was rotten. I decided to pass, as this was not mentioned prior. Bummer. I’ll have to look into other options.

That stinks! Hopefully something just as promising comes along soon.

I have an interesting question. Maybe @Pyxis can give me some insight. I have a call duckling hatching currently. The parents of the mom are a grey call hen and a white call drake. The mom is grey and the dad is unknown. The duckling’s down looks to be all yellow. I was just wondering how this works.

White is recessive So if the duckling turns out to be white, it means mom was carrying it, which she was because her father was white. It means the duckling's father was also either white or carrying white.
