Here's a pair of SDWs I hatched this year. Pullet is a blue SDW.

Very nice, jophus... how do you get the blue SDW?

I have not seen a blue Silver Duckwing pullet nor hen prior. There must be a 'ton' of colors out there! I checked her out close, seems to be a fine bird. Thanks for posting that, I am still trying to learn all of the variates in the OEGB umbrella.

Best to you and your birds,

RJ

Easy...her mother was a blue SDW. I bought the hen from a friend of mine. It breeds like blue in any other variety.

lol, well of course that's easy... should've asked do you know how to make the blue SDW without one?

She's about 7 months old and not as well colored as I would like, but should improve as she ages. She's extremely sweet and friendly though. Was really hoping for a blue SDW cockerel but didn't get one this year. May sell this pair as I have way too many varieties to seriously work with, but if no one wants them, guess I'll see how they produce in the spring.

I've been told you can do it with blue reds, and I believe that is how this guy started his line. That's too much work for me, though.

Thanks, jophus... was curious... such a lovely little hen...

Thanks. All the pullets from that mating were gorgeous. This was the only blue though.

Well I would like to share a pair I just got a couple of weeks ago. They are of course OEGB Silver Duckwings, going by the name of Samuel and Mary Jane. I hope to acquire a number of nice chicks from these two in the spring. They placed quite high in a local county fair exhibit, one of the better bird shows in the upper part of the state. I am tickled to have them on the place and adding their charm to our day.



Best to all and your birds,

RJ
