U like that gene? Do u breed for quality or pets/meat? Lots of people cull hard when it comes to white heads. At least I have started when I picked my breeding stock

My Muscovies are my pets I love them very much, theirs just something about the solid white head that makes them look so pretty to me, I don't breed for it except if it's a very bold gene in the mom that I liked then I do. I could never eat my birds, as soon as I hatch them they are my babies and I will do anything for them and I think they know that as they are such big babies! Lol XD

Example:
My drake widge is walking along following me around, he will step in front of me and stand on my feet until I pick him up and give him some kisses lol
