Muscovy Breeding Color Genetics True Lavender

[phantom1]

Yes,

Can anyone tell me what colors to use to get a true lavender Muscovy duck? Or if I can find one true lavender what color could one breed to get back to a purebred true lavenders?

Hello I breed my muscovys this year and I got some pure lavender baby's I breed this female with a white male and a black/ chai kale male and got some it will only let me post pictures of pics I've posted before but if you want I can text you and you can see what he looked like?

True lavenders can't be mixed colors genetically. So don't breed any other colors unless you want the resulting lavender offspring to be other color carriers

If you want true lavenders, then only breed true lavender birds together. If they are true lavenders, then they will only give you lavender offspring. No other colors.


Paws4440- the above duck is a blue, therefore any offspring that turned out lavender from her are NOT true lavenders

Ok so blues are not lavender? And I am trying to find some true lavenders Muscovy's just have not found any yet.
