Hurry and catch up @Pyxis
I'm anxious to hear any comments you might have for my weird colors

Well silver duck with the claret breast is perplexing, lol. Is that one a male or female? Because with the color coming in in the breast I almost think it might be lavender.

Also perplexing is the chocolate drake which should be impossible. I think I'm gonna need pictures of all the possible mothers and fathers.

Silver duck is a drake.

I guess that “silver” has to be pastel. Maybe even Dusky pastel, which is what Bonkers has turned out to be.

Well this guy has a chocolate colored head. He might be chocolate mallard? Lilac mallard?

What's throwing me is that dusky pastel wouldn't have a claret breast. And if he was normal pastel he should have have just looked like a female pastel before molting into nuptial colors.
