What do you mean by "dilute magpie"? I'm pretty sure that's an Ancona pattern....

Now, I said that to someone a few months ago, that what they had was an Ancona Call duck, and not a Magpie Call, and they looked at me like I was nuts. But is IS a color pattern. I'm not crazy.

Here's a list of duck breeders, there's at least three of them on there breeding Ancona Calls:

Also, I TOTALLY just found someone with the Dusky Indian Runners I've been looking for on that list!

It is all in how you handle them I guess. Every time mine see the hubby or I they come running for food. I had one that just loved to be picked up and held, but most just tolerate it and start fussing after awhile.

I guess it could technically be called an Ancona I haven't had a chance to look at the website yet. Most people understand dilute magpie more so than Ancona so I just call them it. I wish one would have pictures up of theirs.
