Hello all, I was wondering who else out there has gotten mallards not in the grey pattern but like whites, blues, snowys, and buff colored mallards.
I myself have been breeding mallards for a while now and about 5 years ago i had one stray mallard hatch out of a clutch. The mallard was black and she grew up keeping the color, her chest however did turn out to be just a darker grey pattern with a few white flecks.
I had been trying to get the color again when her first successful clutch produced 2 normal grey mallards i was kind of upset and wondered if it was just a color that could not be passed. However this past june i had another clutch of 2 hatch in the incubator from her one was black and the other grey. So i am now in the process of trying to find other lines of pure bred colored mallards.
one of her eggs
her with a rouen last fall

her fighting another mallard hen
