tbitt - I enjoyed your duckling pictures. I find it interesting that your Golden 300 shows a characteristic found in the Silver Appleyard coloring, that dark stripe on her head. That would mean that it's likely that somewhere behind her there is an Appleyard. I have a couple of them, sweet, calm, large and really cute personalities. What I gather is that they cross a Khaki Campbell drake on a black duck - that gives you the F1 generation of brown females and black males. It won't carry through another generation, because the ducks aren't black, but brown. The good egg laying might though! I have no idea where an Appleyard stripe would come from, but that's the only breed that has the stripe like that. Just thought you might find that interesting.
