Snowy Mallard Ducks

Good evening, all!

I am considering purchasing some snowy mallard this spring, but does anybody have pictures of them? The hatchery does not have any posted at the moment, but they sound pretty neat, right?

My neighbor currently raises ducks. I assumed one would be a good addition, but further research led me to find out that snowy mallards (though domesticated) have the same tendency to migrate...and I live in the largest migratory flyway in the US. I just don’t think it would stay with their “grounded rouens”. They’ve had the domesticated mallards before. They stayed until the next fall, but their genetics had other plans for them.

Yep covered aviary would be a must.
