	New book - Colour Breeding in Domestic Ducks Colour Breeding in Domestic Ducks is a simple, illustrated guide for waterfowl enthusiasts, helping them to understand the wealth of colour forms and markings that determine many of the breeds derived from the common mallard. Only a small number of genes affect the inheritance of duck plumage colour. By understanding the alternative genes and their interaction, we are able to manage the colour forms, correct breed faults and introduce new genes into what may be dangerously inbred flocks. In colour throughout, 48pp plus covers, A4. Very well illustrated with the main duck colours which span the breeds. Available from the CDA at £10.00 plus £2.00 p&p (£12.00 total) Also on Amazon and at Ascott www.ascott.biz , Domestic Fowl Trust and Veronica Mayhew

	British Waterfowl Association Standards Following the publication of the 1982 Poultry Club Standards, which introduced new descriptions for several breeds of waterfowl, Tom Bartlett suggested that the BWA should produce its own illustrated standards in colour. The Norfolk artist Carl Donner was commissioned to paint watercolours of all the breeds, plus the standard colours of Calls and Indian Runners. These were completed, with the addition of the Hook Bill and Steinbacher, in the late 1990s and published in 1999 as this millennium edition. The standards give systematic, detailed descriptions of the colour, size and shape of all the breeds recognized in the UK. Carl's colour detail is particularly accurate. He is a successful wildfowl and domestic waterfowl breeder himself and all the paintings are from life. The standards also include a brief history of the breeds, morphological terms and a glossary. They are strongly stitched, hard back and well bound on high quality paper to stand up to use and to mark this specially commissioned work.
