MALLARD THREAD...not rouens, Mallards!

[GypsyCandy]

these are meant to be mallards

Sorry they are not the too bigger ones slightly resemble a hook bill and the smaller one like either more blue Swedish or like a very tiny gosling with a giant nose

Nope they are all buff color. No green. Photo is accurate. Same color as wild mallards ive seen in the wild! Yours might be rouens. Theirs are more green.

Mine are NOT rouens, I am positive about that. Mallards have a very malleable genetic code, and Mallards differ slightly throughout the world. Therefore, some lay nearly white eggs, some blue, some buff, and some green, with many different shades of each.

Yes very true

Also if u get you birds genetically tested they lack the enzymes and starter proteins that make bigger ducks bigger and smaller ducks like calls smaller
