I know that earlier last month this discussion started but I was wondering if any thought was given to my suggestion?

It stems from Freds comment
TOM,

WE WILL PAINT THE BLACKS 4 DRAKES 2 HENS. THE MAN ON THE WEBSITE IS RIGHT BECAUSE THE DRAKE BLACK HAS A BILL COLOR EXACTLY LIKE A DRAKE MALLARD. THE HEN BLACK HAS AN OLIVE GREEN BILL WITH BLACK MOTTLING SIMILAR TO A HEN MALLARD. THERE WILL BE TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT POSES. BLACKS TEND TO BE EITHER HIGH HEADED OR VERY LOW HEADED. THE DRAKES SEEM TO BE MORE ALERT AND THE HENS MORE RELAXED. THEIR FEATHER COLORATION IS THE SAME BETWEEN DRAKE AND HEN. SOMETHING THAT I THINK WOULD BE VERY COOL WOULD BE TO DRY BRUSH DRAKE MALLARD GREEN ON SOME OF THE DRAKE BLACKS' HEADS TO MAKE BLACK MALLARD HYBRIDS. A LOT OF THESE EXIST IN THE WILD AND I MEAN A GOOD SIZE NUMBER. THIS WOULD ADD REALISM TO THE SPREAD AND ALSO A MARKETING ANGLE AND SHELF APPEAL.

FREDDIE

I was wondering if it was possible to package these decoys so there are 4 "relaxed" head pose hens and 2 "alert" head pose drakes. I always perfer to have a nice relaxed looking spread in fact I use alot of sleepers to help this effect. As far a shelf appeal the decoy coloration except the bills will be the same so there should be now real dirrerece in that regard. JMHO on the subject.
Thanks for listening to my concerns..
