Faith Valley Waterfowl
Long Term Project: We are working on developing two lines of pied calls, the
Grey Pied and the Blue Fawn Pied, and we hope to, one day, see these varieties
within the pages of our APA or ABA Standards.
We have referred to the British Standard for Guidelines and have worked with the
NCBA to format these Standards to be similar to the layout of our American
Standards. The color patterns are very similar to the Gray Call or Blue Fawn Call
except there will be large portions of white feathers. The Pied markings will be
varied in the amount of white or colored feathers that are present. A call of
symmetrical color patterns should be preferred.
If you too are interested in pursuing the standardization of the Grey Pied or the
Blue Fawn Pied, we would love to chat with you. It is our desire to work in a
collaborative effort with other pied call breeders toward seeing the goal of
standaraization attained for these two vareities.
