According to Dave Holderreads book, when you cross a white with a grey you just get greys, however they do carry a white gene and if you take those ducklings and breed them you will get about 25% white and 75% grey.
This is just what the book says, I have not tried it.

So there is no mix of the colors breeding white x grey produces grey.

Hmmmmm Thats not what i want to do so i guess i will sell my remaining calls as a trio.
I was going to keep a white female and cross her with a grey male but if there is going to be no change in the color then i won't do it.
Thanks for the info

I was told that if you cross a white with a gray you get snowy. I tried that, and I got blues.

I''ll have ducklings in the spring and adults by next fall, but I'm sure you dont want to wait that long.
