No. I raise for selectiv breed.

That’s so cool. Do they have this for all poultry? Maybe similar to our poultry shows. What all colors do you have?

I've seen albino pop up in mallard derived ducks. In them, it breeds as a simple recessive gene. I would think it would be the same in muscovies. However, the red eyes are tied to the albino gene. The reason for the red eyes in albinos is that there is no melanin to color the eyes, but the blood vessels inside can show through, causing the red color.

Thank you so much
