Decided to get some runner ducks, need to choose colors

[Widlast]

Hello all,

I'm going to get some runner ducks this spring and I would like some advice on the colors to get for maximum variety in the offspring.

The colors available to me are
Black
Blue
Chocolate
Fawn & White
Emery Penciled
Penciled

I've been told that Black and Brown breed true
I know that Blue X Blue gets 1/4 Black, 1/2 Blue, and 1/4 Silver

What would Black X Fawn & White produce?
or Chocolate X Emery Penciled?

I intend to start with 10 or 15 ducklings (probably from Johnson's Waterfowl)


thanks for the help

Maybe this will help until someone with knowledge comes on. http://www.ashtonwaterfowl.net/duck_genetics.htm

I've read that breeding a Black drake to Chocolate ducks will produce sexlinked ducklings- so the Black ducklings will be female and the chocolate ducklings will be male (or visa-versa).

Yes. I had read about that. Definitely going to get at least one black and a few chocolates.

I found this tool

makes it all easy (sort of)

now I know how to make Apricot Dusky Runner Ducks!
