I read that twice and I still need to read it again.

I think chocolate mallard patterned.

Well, the easy way (but a unpure bred way) is to breed a khaki hen, to a mallard (or rouen) drake, then breed those ducklings together and you have chocolates!

To get chocolate mallards breed a Khaki drake to a Mallard hen. All female offspring will be Chocolate Mallard in appearance (but carrying the Dusky gene too. The Dusky gene removes eye stripes but only in two doses as its recessive. Campbell's have two doses of it and Khakis have Chocolate as well).

Well Excuuuuuuse me. I didn't know Julie was ordering. Must have missed that one.

Dont be mad

(.....

.......) yup, shes getting those roman geese, and BEI's. I thuoght she was getting others to

DG- Lol, Yes. I'm ordering from ideal, and getting a pair of roman tufted. I'm thinking I'm going to get a trio of BEI too. They are so dang cute, I'm just worried about having to keep them penned or clipped. I like my fat non flying duckies, lol. And mallards are classified as bantams, I believe.

QJ- Get the runners. They are hilarious. And they'll match your chocolate orpingtons.

I think Meyer. But my husband just rocked my world and said I could order some silky's from Holderreads. But I'm afraid of their ordering process. It's all old school by mail.

My husband likes the Cayuga's... really? I mean... I guess they're pretty and all. But... Not my first choice.
