It was all chance and random assortments of genes that affected the MC1R gene creating these melanistic mallards.

I live in Mississippi, but you may be turned away from these beautiful birds once you hear about price  .

What do they usually sell for

 

[buff goose guy]

$2,000 for a pair. In europe they go for about $1,000 for a pair, but I have the only known pure ones on this side of the world.

But I'm not selling them yet.

That is partial melanism

, partial because it only looks to have affected the head but the body is more of a darker normal pattern and not that of a full melanistic mallard.

She looks a lot like my dusky grey Call girl I hatched...

Do they have a cup of water deep enough to dunk their heads and clear their nares in?

Yes :/

 

[Ravynscroft]

Yes :/

How are they acting? Active? Eating and drinking well? What are you feeding them?

Well we will see if theses works or not. It maybe to big. We took a doggy door extra large and its old but still in box. We never got around to putting it up .so I laid it next to the door way of dog house. It doesn't exactly fit like it should. I will see if partners able to put screws in it and make it fit a little better For my birds
