Babies are on route, should hear from the post office in about 40 minutes (they asked what time and I said 7 am would work)

No DoAs. Calls were packed separately, think I got a bunch of penciled, pastels and Grey's. One of the pastels is kinda dumb

Looks like I got fawn and white and black runners. Just got back and they're in the brooder. Added a second lamp to try and keep the water warm enough. It's 37 here and snowing. Yay

Just realized that I got 8 calls. Cool

@Pyxis do Fawn and Whites males make sexlinks? I keep seeing that, but I don't know if it's accurate since they have fawn and not chocolate

Also is this an indicator that this Magpie isn't going to be marked properly?

Or do babies just sometimes not have as much color?

What makes you say that?

Gets lost in the brooder a lot. Like quail. Had to guide her back a few times. Hoping she doesn't actually get in trouble doing that

Since (from my understanding) Fawn is a mix of Blue and Chocolate, a male bred to a non-chocolate female should give you all chocolate females.

As for the Magpie, yes, that's poorly marked.

Fawn is indeed chocolate So yes, you can use them to make sex links. However the blue involved can make it harder to see in the duckling down.
