Ducks that are “pied” or “have large white patches on a colored background” are especially striking and pleasing to the eye. Unfortunately many pied runners are hatchery quality, which simply means that though they are hardy and often prolific ducks, they lack type and conformation…often incredibly so. We have been messing with just such a strain for a few years with poor results until last year we finally decided to take a different approach and cross our pied strain to our dark dusky strain, resulting in a new generation of breeders that are all Dark Dusky with one copy of the pied gene. Our goal in a few years is to create a strain of decent Emery Pencilled Runners (pied on a dark dusky background) which should be especially striking! And instead of forcing you to wait the three or four years it would take to perfect this strain, we are offering the opportunity for you to hop aboard this genetic journey! Come on, let’s play!
Ducklings from this project group will hatch in the following color possibilities:
50% heterozygous for pied (which means they’ll have white wing tips and a bit of white on the throat/chest)
25% non pied
25% homozygous for pied (fully pied!)
possibilities of brown dilutions, light phase, and white
