They are so pretty! What does sex-linked mean?
That is what I thought...just making sureIt means you can tell what gender they are when they hatch by their color
I am so bad at genetics(I was lost in that section of the book) can't help you with that(there are plenty who can) but your ducklings are so so cute!View attachment 1744385 Thank you! We ended up with 3 girls, 3 boys and one we are sure of because it is from different parents. I did read Storey’s guide. What I don’t understand is why they have facial stripes and wild type duckling markings. Both the Khaki and Welsh Harlequin should be homozygous recessive for the dusky gene. Any ideas?
