I have been learning from a Call Duck breeder here and it's been exciting and interesting...He runs a Hatchery close to me...If you get the Appleyard pattern chances are they have Appleyard bantams in the genes so are not true Calls...At least that's what I have learned so far...I have been...
I run a mixed flock of Calls myself and get blues...So yes, Ravyn is possibly right with her thoughts....She is great and always knows colours....And Bantam breeds....
