Late to this party but as I am sitting here trying to decide what color of call I want next..........SO MANY PRETTIES! I have just purchased my first calls and now I am spinning in place trying to choose the next one. The magpies are sooo cute!
I must have missed something because I don't see a pic of a charcoal in the thread? Since charcoal is technically black, is that a real color? I realize this is probably not the entire list of available colors but I generally refer to the Sherborne Ducks site to help me try and identify them. http://www.sherborneducks.co.uk/nonstandardcoloursusa.htm
Now I gotta add magpie to my list of I want MORE!

Good link!

I know but she is not blue is any form of colour..It's actually Charcoal and then Black..Sent picture to breeder here and they call her Charcoal and black Magpie..I know I shouldn't of posted her...

"charcoal" isn't a color. It's a made up name for a color. Like how some people like to call lilac "mauve".
Blue is a dilution of black and that's what your duck is. The black bleed through is common on blue ducks in any breed.

I'm never going to learn all the call colors!

Always called Bacardi a silver, but he looks pretty close to blue magpie?? or silver magpie??

A hawk got him back in March. But I'm sure some of his offspring just hatched, as one of my hens was already making her nest at the time I lost him.
