How to get desired colors in Call ducks

[easttxchick]

OK, I'm not afraid to show my ignorance here-does anyone know of a source to find out how to produce certain colors in Call ducks?
I have looked all over the internet, Amazon for books, etc. There's just nothing out there that I can find.
Suggestions?

I think that to best understand how different colours are bred you really need to have some understanding of colour genetics. This book should provide a good place to start http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/09555642...ASIN=0955564204&adid=1BQRSXX2HWKTY0XA0M5X&

Gee, since our dollar is so devalued, does anyone know how much 10 British pounds comes out to?

Thanks for the advice, I'd like to have that book!

Thats a brilliant book. I have it and its helped so much to understand about my own ducks and has given me the knowledge to go ahead with some breeding to get what I want in the way of colours.

Well, i found the most AWESOME!!!! Calculator... It's kinda 1/2 in German half english, it's a genetics site.

It does work, have been using it to find out from the color ducks we hatched, grew and mated...

We got a lilac color and a black bibed, from white, chocolate, blue fawn, etc.

Good Luck I LOVE IT!!!
