I am a general licensed poultry judge. Exhibition/show Mallards are small and racy. Real Mallards should have a 4 inch bill and be so strong that you can hardly hold on to them.look i have the genetic test to prove i have balck mallards and yes ,oldie, they are pure bred mallards for your information that certainly shows what you know claiming to be so wise. when i have the genetic tests to prove my birds. also its called show qaulity show quality mallards are not supposed to be super skinny i raise her on a show mans diet so of course she not going to be racy.
