Duck egg color chart?

[FarmrGirl]

I know this is an old post but it came up in my search results while I was looking for a duck breed chart. Still haven't found anything as comprehensive as Henderson's Chicken Breed chart but it's a good start:

http://www.metzerfarms.com/DuckBreedComparison.cfm?CustID=37353

And these sites have some good breed information: http://www.dpi.nsw.gov.au/agriculture/livestock/poultry/species/duck-raising/breeds-and-breeding
http://www.jpvpk.gov.my/index.php?option=com_joomgallery&func=viewcategory&catid=102&startpage=1&substartpage=3&Itemid=13&lang=en


I hope this helps someone else who's searching...

Sorry it's blurry - this is just a low-resolution example of the chart so far)

I whipped this up as an example, but I could do it bigger and more completely if I had enough picture submissions. We do have the BYC breed database with all the same information now, but I like charts - everything in one place that can be easily referenced or printed out.

If I get enough pictures to complete this chart, I'd be glad to post it as a file that anyone can download and print.

I am really glad that someone started this thread. I found an orange duck egg (for Halloween I'm sure) and I can't figure out who laid it. I have Giant Pekings, Black Cayuga, Blue Swedish, Rouen, and Khaki Campbell girls in a pen. The black egg is of course from a Black Cayuga, but I cant figure out who could have laid that lovely orange egg



, just in time for Halloween.

This link shows the probability of each breed (not all breeds are listed) laying colored eggs
It doesn't take into account the cayugas which lay black eggs, or anconas which lay black, blue, green or white eggs

Good effort
Any update on this?
