I'm trying to go thru my Holderreads Runner ducks and pick out what I want to use as a breeding pen, I'm having issues figuring out what some of the colors are, LOL

So far I am sure there are Fawn and White and Penciled in there, Chocolate and Khaki (I think? Sigh). Plus some other things I have not a clue on yet.

I'm trying to pick out things that "go together" color wise, I'd like to not hatch funky colors!

How does Chocolate work in ducks? Is it like Dun in chickens? What do I get if I breed Chocolate to Black (or Khaki?)

The quality on a lot of them is just amazing, so I am sure whatever I pick will make really nice ducks, I'm just trying to limit myself to ONE pen of Runners. Yes, just one. Really. Thats what I told my husband, just the ONE pen of Runners...

I have a blue drake (show quality) and fawn and white, buff, and black females. The buff female is show quality. The black and fawn and white females are hatchery quality. The two show quality are from Holderreads This is what I got. I think some are pretty interesting,
I'm hatching some more in 3 days.
