Rav's Duckumentary - Call duckling babies (pic heavy)

AHHHHH! I want one!

Work in progress, lol... she went darker than I expected... she's the only one I hatched, too... but I do have a drake *I think* has the right genetics to breed her to, he's just got a blue gene as well... will have to see how the offspring turn out...

Oh nice! How do you go about getting that color?

You have to get light phase restricted over the grey...

You do know who you're talking to right..
I have no idea what that means..

Sorry, it's complicated, lol!

I got her by chance luck though, just fyi... put a bunch of colors together and see what you get!

But the duckling down color/pattern is key to recognizing it... I will see if I still have her baby pics and you can see what I mean...

She sure didn't sound like a squeaky toy!

Funny, though... I pick on the boys when their voices 'crack' cuz most either sound like squeaky toys or kazoos, lol...
