Shaws call duck incubation thread (hatch a wonderful(worthless to Ralphie) dux thread)

[Fields Mountain Farm]

I phoned a friend

So here's your answer: in the baby picture, 1,2,3 are greys. 6 is restricted gray (appleyard) as I thought. 5 is either an overly marked black bibbed or black magpie. Four is blue fawn restricted, so kinda 'blue appleyard' like I thought.

I wonder if your friend might have any thoughts about my litle chocolate looking one?

Calls are so fascinating! Blue fawn restricted I've never even heard of. Not that I know much but I've looked at all the charts and posters. That particular duck is oversized and very un call like in proportions.

I hate to even attempt to wonder what that color means for breeding!

Sweet! I thought some appleyard had to be in there somewhere but I know nothing about the restricted stuff. Very cool!

You guys all really impress me being able to figure out these colors.

Dusky blue, or maybe gray dusky

Awww.. thank you both!

Remember the one that I couldn't figure out that we thought was blue dusky? That one apparently was blue fawn with dusky influence and maybe partial pied.

Boy are these colors complicated, lol.

Oh and my black "bibbed" or "pied" as I thought is really magpie. Actually quite happy about that. He's not marked perfectly but eh.
