He's the one making grey pieds with Lady Grey, and their bills are smaller than the other babies too... I hatched him out of eggs from clousert...

He's a pied?? because the Pied I hatched out from her eggs, he's nothing like that.. LOL

Here's my pied..

RIght in the middle, OH WAIT, MY PIED SHOOTS OFF BLUES... LOL

Here's his KID




No green grass here!!!!

He's pretty! Tammy said he was pied, but to me he looks incomplete pied... didn't know what he would throw... BUT minihorse said she got some blue pieds out of her greys and Lady Grey came from her... so I'm not sure if she is carrying hidden pied and it's just their combo or if it's him alone... I'm gonna test him over Crash to see, since Crash is a grey from Tammy as well...

nooooo, I got blue pie from silver hens with grey and snowy drakes.

Ah... but Lady Grey might be from Snowy/Grey parents, right? Just wondering if it's the particular pair or if it's him...

Oh, wanted to ask... can silver be a possibility from blue bibbed/silver?

 

[minihorse927]

The pied is most likely coming from the fact that the silver hens are actually silver bibbed. I believe the guy I got them from which producing them from his blue bibbed pen but because they are so light in color it makes it hard to see.

yes, you'll get blue bibbed, maybe pied, and silver.

Yes lady grey may be hiding a harlequin gene.

Thanks, I thought so... they are so super sweet!

I am curious to find out if she is... it's just really got my curiosity going since the 2 pieds that hatched match exactly the pics in the Colour Breeding in Domestic Ducks book for the pied genes...

Pic of the book pic...

Says the right one is male and back left is female, common patterning... the 1st that hatched looks like the right and 2nd looks like the left, lol... can't wait to see if they turn out opposite genders too...

 

[minihorse927]

Best way to test Lady Grey for the Harlequin gene is to breed her to a snowy and see if you get any snowy

I will probably do that at some point, for now I think we want more pieds, lol...

Thank you for everything...

No problem

happy to see them in a good home where they are getting good care and reproducing
