sounds sensible.
So do you think this one of mine is pastel? View attachment 1422778

I think so Looks too light to be blue fawn. Do you have a baby picture?

I'm actually thinking Ravyn had said it was pastel. . it's just been confusing cause my other pastels turned out so gray/silver color.

 

[shawluvsbirds]

compared to these which I know are blue fawn except for the one gray in front. . I can see the difference in down color. I just didn't know for sure if male vs. Female could be different in down color.

I think definitely pastel

For Lisa's ducklings?

I definitely think the little black one is black bibbed.

She did get the Calls she has from Ravyn, who does have chocolate in her lines, and it is a sex linked color meaning males can be split to it, and a female that gets one copy of the gene expresses it, so there is the chance one of her drakes carries it and the duckling is a chocolate female.

Or, it might be khaki, which can look kinda like chocolate:

I'll get pics outside in better light... his chest has that goldish look to it like the khaki but not as bright..

They're doing sooo good this morning!
Shaw... lost yer quote ... those are great pics... i love the first one... it would make a cool calander pic!

Lol. That was a neat shot wasn't it. It's just that my phone camera isn't near good enough quality to enter anything with.

My too small air cell egg died overnight. But the other egg has another pip hold it so it is progressing as it should be. Guess little Howie is going to be a lone duckling.

So the 'lings were not eating the crumbles so i made it into mash and they are currently fighting over the best spot to sit in the lid i used, to eat.

I cant get good enough pics for entering anything either...

Any chance of buying a duckling for a buddy?

That's funny. None of mine ever wanted anything to do with mash. I did however grind some of the crumbles up a bit smaller for daisy and Daphne when I had them. .it was a new bag of feed and the crumbles on the top of the sack were the bigger pieces. They acted like they couldn't swallow them.

These two literally dove right in...
