possible baby daddies. The bottom one I know is a young pic. . but I've got several blue ones now not sure which one is him in the pictures. But anyways. . it was blue Bibb.

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.

Pyxis will figure it out.

Okay, I'm working on a theory here. Do you know the parents of these two?

Parents of the pastel mom is Duck and Jane. They are also the parents of Ralphie the first possible drake dad.

The blue fawn girl is an unrelated female I bought last year.

Drako. .

his mom I'm pretty sure is the blue fawn girl I pictured. .. And dad had to be Ralphie. That was the only drake at that time.
*but. . the pastel mom is a possibility there too.

Thanks! Follow up question, do you know the parents of the blue bibbed that fathered some of these ducklings?

Alex the blue Bibb was hatched by the blue fawn girl. . but I know for a Fact on that one that it was Lexis egg.

Once again. . the dad was Ralphie. The blue fawn hatched by duck and Jane. Lexi was another of the unrelated females I bought. Don't know her parentage.
