Hi everyone! I have this duck that I am in love with, and have no idea what is going on with her coloring! This is her tonight. She is a lighter tan, not really a buff, more of a dusty brown, but her feathers are turning white. It started as a few on her back, and now she is more than half... -
Mallard colored Indian Runner duck with darker feathering.
Howdy! I am just beginning to breed Indian Runner Ducks and I still have a lot to learn about color genetics. For the second time I have gotten a duckling with darker feathers and penciling than the others. In all honesty this duck may not be purebred like the others, but really my question is...- Ridge Runner Duck Farm

Calling All Duck Gene Experts / Enthusiasts!
I made a post 2 days ago about some ducks / geese I saw at a local lake. One duck in particular has been on my mind since for how handsome he was!! He’s the only one I couldn’t identify. I am extremely curious to what genes he could possibly have to look this way. He’s completely brown, yet...- KathiQuacks

Would you call this a Lavender Runner Duck?
I'm unsure as to what this colour is called. It was suggested to me that it may be Silver but upon googling it looks like Silver runners are more similar to the colouration of a Welsh Harlequin. Any insight would be appreciated. I've also added some cute pics of her as a wee duckling...- Waddlewoods

What is your guess of duckling coloration?
I have ten, fertile duck eggs which are ten days along in my incubator for a friend. His hen, who laid the eggs, is a White Crested. The drake, is my half Khaki, half Appleyard, named Salsa. I know there is a 50% chance of a crest. Also, assuming the White Crested doesn't carry a brown...- cheezenkwackers

What are the original flock sources for the Ancona?
Do they all end up tracing back to Holderread? I saw somewhere in the Ancona Duck facebook group a mention of Ancona's being around on the United States east coast in the 1930's even though it's said they were only brought over from Britain in the 1960's. So that's one puzzle. Beyond that, I...- katefollot
