I know this is BackYardChickens.com, but we have a huge community of "duck people" as well.
Any chance someone could write up sex-link information on duck colors and make it a sticky too? idunno

Sorry, but I am too busy with chicken genetics to branch into the genetics of other birds. I do not have the room to work with ducks.

awesome information!  I am interested in egg production.  2 Questions: 

1]  If I hatch eggs from golden comet x golden comet will egg production of resulting pllets be affected?

2]  If I hatch eggs from golden comet Hen x Austrolorp roo, a]  will egg production be affected  2]  will the chicks be sex linked?

I am interested in crossing a RIR with a dark sussex.  Because they both have mahogony in them I am wondering about the chicks coloring in order to sex them.  Please ?

There's a whole world of differences between propagators and breeders. My goal is to propagate breeders towards the Standard of Perfection.
 
You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, you can make a purse out of it, but it won't be silk. LOL
 
Maybe in about another 30-40 years I'll get this "being an expert" thing figured out by then. LOL
