Some chickens and some ducks

[RandomDucks]

New member with (mostly) Icelandic chickens (since 2020) and a mix of ducks and Muscovies, since my neighbor's Swedish duck decided to live at my house (December 2023) and I broken down this August and got her new duck friends (after her drake vanished in March). I recently (2023-2024) added some blue/green egg-laying chickens, as well. Interested in color genetics.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

Interested in color genetics.

Color genetics of their eggs or the chicken's colors? I have a couple links I use for color genetics of birds I'll share in case it's that. Here's Kippenjungle Chicken Calculator, too. It takes a bit to figure it out but is a wealth of knowledge.

Here is a video of some of the ducks grazing on my lawn with a rooster cameo:

(I have another reply in this thread with links to more pictures, but it is awaiting moderator approval.)

Birds, mostly (the eggs are much less complicated!) but between the hens and the roos showing color differently and all the pattern options, it is a lot! My first batch of Icelandics had so much color variation in the roos, I fell in love immediately.

Thanks!
