I think a rouen is a rouen is a rouen if you get what I am saying lol.....however there is the exhibition rouen and the hatchery stock rouen....you probably just have hatchery stock as there is no such thing a mallard colored pekin

Sounds to me like a Niacin deficiency.....keep giving him niacin supplements.

They may not have been mating at all. Our muscovies do this when they are both in the pool, and they are female. Its a dominance thing. I looked at the pictures you posted and your muscovy looks like a female but maybe not? Do you know...

I didn't order from McMurray for this reason, I like going with Metzer's. Hopefully they show up today :(
