I think I've decided on keeping the black Bibbd call. He is just too cute.

I did notice today tho that he only has one white primary and only on one side.
So then I looked at my blues and they only have one white primary on one side as well.
Dang it.
Maggie my female black don't have any white primaries at all. .so I wondered if the black ones were even supposed to have them at all.
@Pyxis Do you know?

Oh my goodness The difference in the mama being raised by me is incredible. She doesn't mind me picking them up at all! She is being so good. I even sat and watched her nuzzling the end of the air cell, opening it up a bit wider and the baby inside opened its eyes and looked at us
What a precious moment! !

Hopefully Pyxis or someone knows, but I’m sure I read somewhere that they are supposed to have some white.

They are so adorable! Does the grey one end up like the your grey adults? And the yellow duckling end up looking like your Momma?
