Ah... thank you. That is so nice. I try, but it is hard. It is a hard subject for almost anyone to understand when they are first starting out and often difficult to give an adequate explanation without totaling confusing and overwhelming people. It is so MUCH easier if the person has a basic understanding of genetics. The Mallard-derived colors really are pretty straight forward and easy to understand with just a little bit of remedial knowledge that we all must learn if we want to really comprehend it.
Editing to add- As it has already been pointed out, yes of course there is a Blue Silver/Snowy in Calls. It is actually a quite easy color to get and we wouldn't have Apricot Silvers if not for Blue Silvers. All the colors required to make this color (and any other) already exist in numerous Call varieties without outcrossing to other breeds.
