Overberg duck breed information

[Chickenosauurs_RexNo54]

@dheltzel is trying to do something similar. Instead of harlequins they is going to use Mini-silver appleyards and Aztecs. They can explain to you about the genetics of it since I don't really know how to explain it.

If you are interested in duck breeding, you absolutely must get a copy of Dave Holderread's book on ducks. Get the second edition, it is worth the extra money. Buy it here and you can get Dave to autograph it for you, and also pick up his bulletin on other ducks. http://holderreadfarm.com/literature_page/literature.htm

The book explains the genetics of Overberg and the genetic of Welsh Harlequin, so you can plan your effort to make your standard size Overberg duck.

That would be helpful, thank you. There doesn't seem to be a ton of information out there on Overbergs. I found his "Raising the Home Duck Flock" at the thrift store but I don't remember anything about Overbergs in that one. I'll have to get that second edition.
