Ok, thank you! I've never heard of Khaki Silver Duckwing. This going to be exciting to learn about it!!

I think most people call them 'Khaki sports', but that's really a misnomer. 'Sport' implies that it's an unexpected color from a crossing, whereas Khaki would be a completely normal result from breeding two Fawns together. It's also quite hard to see because of how pale they are, but they do still have the Silver Duckwing patterning over top of their Khaki coloring, so they technically are Khaki Silver Duckwing by coloration.

I'm in the US, but I'm using the Australian standards for my Australorps because I don't have access to the US standards.

I'm not showing them so it doesn't matter. I just need a good target to aim for.

Their so pretty!!!
How did you get them??! I need some!

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

I got a breeding pair of Fawn Silver Duckwings a few years ago and hatched the Khakis out of them. Fawn breeds like Blue, so roughly 1/4 of the offspring from breeding Fawn Silver Duckwings together are just plain Silver Duckwing, 1/2 are Fawn Silver Duckwing, and 1/4 are Khaki Silver Duckwing.
